virus scan

Comment:

I scanned my computer for viruses using nortons and AVG 6.0. Both is updated but the AVG reports virus infection detected while notron reports no virus found. Why is that?

look for "AVG virus Vault" and try right-click and select "delete". (just my guess.)

It doesn't tell me what the virus is and I tried looking in the "vault" and tried to click on it but nothing happens. It won't let me do it.

You might contact AVG and see what they recommend. You also might try Trendmicro's Housecall: Housecall

you can try scanning with AVG again and look out for its name when scan complete. type its name in the "go search" box on the top right corner of this forum and see what it find.
