Hello. My EZ Trust Antivirus has found infected but NOT DELETED two viruses, both found in WINDOWS SYSTEM 32. I can manually track them both until the very last file, of which I can't find in the listing. Viruses: WIN32 MMThief and WIN#@ Pigeon.GV.
I just downloaded a free trial of AVG 7.5 so don't know if it maybe deleted them.
Any thoughts on how to delete these buggers?
Can I run two antivirus at the same time?
Thanks kindly for any help and have a good one!!!!

Running two AV programs is not such a good idea. If you scanned with AVG, you would have received a notice that two were found and asking what you wanted to do with them.

It's never a good idea to run 2 AV programs in any instance...
Both of these are trojans which are a different beast altogether.
DLoad and update and run the following in Safemode with System Restore turned off:
AVG Anti-Spyware
Stinger.
Disconnect from the web when doing this. When done re-connect and re-boot and do a search for both files.
Post back with your results...
