AVG Virus Vault The AVG Virus Vault application is a safe environment for management of suspect or infected objects detected during AVG Free Edition scanning. Once an infected object is detected during scanning, and AVG Free Edition is not able to heal it automatically, you are asked to decide what to do with the suspect object. The recommended solution is to move the object to the AVG Virus Vault for further treatment. Viruses can be detected by any of various AVG Free Edition components, such as AVG Resident Shield and AVG E-mail Scanner. Viruses can also be found when running a test from the AVG Test Interface or even when using Windows Explorer. a) What should I do when a virus is detected?Whenever AVG Free Edition detects a virus, we recommend that you try to heal the infected object as the first option. When AVG Free Edition is unable to heal the virus (this may occur for any of many reasons, including the distortion of the original file by the virus) use the next alternative ­ move it to the AVG Virus Vault. The last option is to delete the infected object (which is often the virus itself). [. . . ] For AVG Free Edition the applications to be selected from the list and marked as allowed are: · · · · AVG Free Control Center (file avgcc. exe) AVG Free Edition for Windows (file avgw. exe) avginet. exe avgemc. exe If these applications are not listed in the list of exceptions, you need to add them manually. This can be done using the Add Program button: Copyright (c) 1992-2004 GRISOFT, s. r. o.
