I ran a AVG scan at 9:55am ET today and had 0 viruses. I ran a AVG scan at 4:00pm ET and had these 3;
Trojan horse Crypt4.BBEW (C:\Windows\Installer\29c62e.msi)
Trojan horse Crypt4.BBEW (C:\Windows\Installer\29c62a.msi)
Trojan horse Crypt4.BBEW (C:\Windows\Installer\29c632.msi)
AVG says it removed these 3 threats, and when I click view detections it shows they are secured. I have done a few reboots and scans since and AVG detects nothing.
I'm trying to figure out how this happened. Between the 9:55am scan and 4:00pm scan I was not even on the internet. The only things that occurred was a 3:00pm AVG update, and I was decluttering my secondary hard drive (containing old gifs and videos).
1) Can Gifs and Videos contain viruses?
2) Should I trust that AVG took care of them as it says it did?
3) Is it possible that it messed up other files on computer that I'm not noticing?
4) If I go back to a system restore point I created yesterday, will that undo anything the viruses might have done to other files?
Thanks
