I have AVG7 Free Installed and fully up to date but when I press control alt
del in my WinXP three running process are WinstatKeep.exe and SAHagent and
WinStat.exe all are Kodorian trojans arent they. Just wondering why AVG is
not picking them up and removing them when I do a full scan?

Just guessing: AVG is an ***ANTI VIRUS*** program, and not an ***ANTI
TROJAN*** program?

WHY change, run an on-line Anti Trojan scanner and keep the anti VIRUS
proggy.

But if AVG7 is not an Anti-Trojan program as well why does it occasionally
pick up Trojans and sends them to the Virus Vault?
