I have run PC Health check(2 hours to do 46%) as Rush mentioned in his thread and it has picked up various "infected" items. But none of these have been picked up by running AntiVir PE Classic or by AVG (free edition) so these are the problems?

Trojan:Win32/Adialer.KAC
TrojanDownloader:Win32/S
TrojanDownloader:Win32/V B.KZ
CoolWebSearch.MWSearch

Do i have a problem or are these harmless threat as seen my the 2 mentioned installed Anti Virus problems. Any help would be most welcomed as would ways to resolve any problems. Oh thanks in advance Muckshifter:wave: ;)

Anything that starts with Trojan or TrojanDownloader would ring alarmbells to me, however I can't find anything via google :confused:

CoolWebSearch is scumware which you need to get rid of - run CWShredder/Adaware/Spybot etc :thumb:

Edit: Just noticed feckit - your not running AntiVir and AVG at the same time are you?

Was, but only as AVG seemed to be the one scanning incoming mail.
Could that be the problem a conflict?

You should never run 2 AV's at the same time, they can indeed cause conflicts with each other reducing their efficiency.

As regards the PC Health check - reading this and the posts in Rush's thread, I'm not 100% convinced that these detections are true.

As suggested, run the on-line scanners without your installed AV's running and check - if they come up with nothing then I would ignore it.
