| Help.
|
| AVG has identified a file called: Series008.scr as a trojan
| "Backdoor.Small.3.AG".
|
| The path goes fairly deep into:c:/documents and setting/myname/local
| setting/temp/Temporary Directory 2 for Series008.zip/
|
| What us this??
|
| Is it the type to cause problems?
|
| How can I remove it??
|
| (Should I just try and remove that last directory or just the file or????)
|
| Any advice would be appreciated.
|
| Thanks,
