Hi All
I'm using AVG 7.0 antivirus and I regularly update it. I've a small
network of 5-6 Windows systems. My network is infected with some Trojan
horses and worms. Although AVG detected some of them but could not heal
even after detection. Among the detected ones are "Backdoor.*" and
"Purity Scan" etc.
I want to ask what is the remedy if AVG refused to heal the infection?
Plz guide and obligde
Regards
