I have some files like these
c:\prgram files\acceleration
software\antivirus\vir_trojan-PWS_banker_4541.crr
c:\prgram files\acceleration software\antivirus\vir_win32_HLLM_bagz.crr
and one or two other similar files. these are isoaled by AVG antiviurs
software. as "virus found hosts". But the softwre could not rectify them
and I parked them in their virus vault.

I use "CcLeaner " for deleting cookies daily morning. Still the above files
are found as virus hosts.

Tthere are many more (large number) of files like these in
c:\prgram files\acceleration software\antivirus\
only four of them given able are found as virus lhosts by AVG and not by
some other antivirus software.
what are these files. can I remove all thee fiels without disturing the use
of my computer.
or even can I delete the whole folder "antivirus".

request advice

Simply deleting the files is obviously not working since they are
respawning.

Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to
do all scans in Safe Mode.

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/sicherheit/35905/multi_av_scanning_tool.html
- download site

The site is in German but David's tool is in English so don't let that
worry you. Scroll all the way down to almost the bottom of the page and
you'll see a box titled "Infos Zum Download - Multi-AV Scanning Tool".
You'll see "Download von www pctipp.ch" and the live link to download
Multi_AV.

You can also check to see if there are targeted removal steps for your
malware here:

When all else fails, run HijackThis and post your log in one of the
specialty forums listed at the first link above (not here, please).

Standard caveat: If the procedures look too complex - and there is no
shame in admitting this isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a
professional computer repair shop (not your local version of
BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be aware that not all local shops
are skilled at removing malware and even if they are, your computer may
be so infested that Windows will need to be clean-installed. Have all
your data backed up before you take the machine into a shop.

I've never used AVG but with the antivirus programs that I have used, I've
found these can be deleted through the program's interface. In other words,
open AVG's program window. Then look for menu items related to deleting the
contents of the vault. If you have trouble finding this, open the program's
help file. Search for "vault" and you should find step by step directions
for managing (keeping or deleting) these quarantined items.
