Ann Cowen What malware does AVCAntivirus 2014 protect against?
Hi, i'm running AVG Antivirus 2014. I clicked on what I thought was a safe link in an email that turned out to be malicious. The email was supposedly from SAGE accounts and read 'Please see attached copy of the original invoice'. The antivirus software kicked in and neutralised 3 threats. I ran a scan and nothing was picked up. Just want to check whether there is anything else I should be doing to make sure my PC is safe. Apparently the program is trying to download various Zbots, cryptolocker, ransomware and loads of other malware.
I it just email without any attachment AVG can't detect that email, no need to report that.
If AVG detected 3 treat and blocked all of them, it should be fine.
Do you experience any symptoms of infection (popups, slowdown, weird behavior, etc)?
Thanks

Have a look @ these 2 articles..
[1] (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=What-to-do-when-I-suspect-an-undetected-file-is-infected)
[2] (https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?urlname=Why-AVG-did-not-detect-a-virus)
In order to analyze it please provide AVG with GMER (http://kb.avg.com/articles/en_US/How_to/GMER-Scan-Result/) and AVG scan result export (http://kb.avg.com/articles/en_US/How_to/AVG-scan-result-export/).
