    Default AVG antivirus is fallible

    I have AVG anti-virus on my puter.
    I run a virus check daily.
    I noticed a JS Dowloader Agent Virus three days ago..
    AVG said it healed system and discarded virus.

    It DID NOT!!!!

    Was an error at end of scan....
    I didn't look at it because AVG said one virus detected..
    One healed....

    Is FLAW in AVG.......

    My debit information was stolen and my bank account liquidated.

    If you have AVG do a a JS Downloader Agent search on google or dogpile.
    There is a removal tool out there...Doing it now.

    spinner, do I understand your meaning? Did someone/something actually take money from your bank account?

    run a virus check...

    It will detect and say it healed it...

    and then at end in small print there will be an error message.

    Run virus check again it was still there.

    I used to use the free AVG.....since buying my Dell about a year ago, I purchased the McAfee package & I have had NO problems. For a couple or few bucks a month, it's well worth it to me.
    Spinner1....Glad to hear you came out ok.
