    Please provide some details. What indication do have that you "... caught two viruses ...".

    Getting an answer is one thing, learning is another.


    Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition running on a 2.40GHz IntelŪ PentiumŪ 4 Processor with 512 MB of RAM and a 533 MHz System Bus.

    A few times a week my pc does a virus check and it came up that i had two viruses.
    I have no idea what to do.
    Im worried i will lose all my personal things as last time i got a virus it hacked every account i had if i logged onto them.

    What anti-virus product are you using? What were the actual detections (a log from your anti-virus product would help).

    Do go ahead and report new or undetected spyware or malware here.
    What version of AVG are you using? AVG should have given you an option to save a log, unless you are not aware of it or you cannot find it.

    In post #2, you mentioned about your accounts are getting "hacked". If this was confirmed (how? changed settings and passwords?) then this could be serious. It can be a possible keylogger.

    I don't use AVG anymore so I'm not so familiar with the interface, but I remember there should be a "History' option in the program.
