AVG has isolated the above virus to the "vault." Is my computer safe? Is there a way to rid the virus completely?|||Yes, you should be able to remove it, or empty quarantine, or something of that nature within the AVG settings. However if it is indeed in the 'vault' and quarantined then it is not a threat any longer.
More importantly, you need to make sure there is nothing else on your system and no deeply hidden traces of this latest bug still remaining.
I really advise you run some antimalware scans using both SUPERAntiSpyware and MalwareBytes. These frequently detect and remove malicious software left behind by antiviruses.
You can download SUPERAntiSpyware here:
http://www.superantispyware.com|||I have been installing AVG on clients computers for over 4 years now its a great Anti-Virus and more. When Avg virus vault gets a virus or a trojan... it keeps it from running and disables its funtionality. There is a way to clear the Virus Vault- Go to tray icon in bottom right-hand corner and right click on it, Select Open AVG User Interface. When the interface opens, Go to the toolbar at the top "File, Components, History, Tools, and Help" click on the "History Menu and click on Virus Vault... You will notice all the viruses and threats that AVG has stopped or found. Towards the bottom right you will see a button that says "Empty Vault" and the say "Yes." Now all the threats are now completely deleted from your system and AVG. If there is a problem with a file getting deleted AVG will alert you. If one of those programs trys to re-infect your PC AVG will stop it.
