Delete the archive (if you don't need any of its contents).

Otherwise, unpack the archive, ID the offending item, and repack the archive without it.

Dittos on thoughtomator's comments - if you are unsure what an archive is it's usually a .zip file or similar (e.g., .rar) containing other files (that have been compressed and stored). AVG and most other modern AV packages will scan inside these archive files since they are can be (and often are) hiding places for a virus.

I agree with the posts ahead of this. One other thing to do though.... Make sure you have folder options to view hidden files because these things like hiding in those types of files too....AVG should tell you exactly path where it is located. Just go in and zap them there.

A side note: very frustrated with Google and Yahoo and their POS tool bars.

It is not obvious that you are installing them and when I accepted an upgrade to Acrobat, even though I specified that the Yahoo tool bar not be installed, it installed it anyway.

And then when I uninstalled the Yahoo tool bar, Acrobat wouldn't work. Had to revert back to a prior Acrobat version that didn't include the toolbar.

Now, only my password protected account has sys admin privileges so that no one else in my family can install software without me being involved.

Have you tried uninstalling the toolbar and running the virus scan again?

You might try this online scan, which is compatible with AVG and most other scanners that reside on your hard drive:

I never use Google toolbar or any of the other fancies that get spread around.

If you want to Google something, just go to Google!

I would love to figure out a way to uninstall the Google tb from Firefox, I'm running Firefox 1.0
