Boot into Safe Mode with Networking. (press F8 repeatedly right before you see the windows logo) Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware: http://download.cnet...4-10804572.html and do a full scan.

Also, AVG is ok, but not great. I recommend Microsoft Security Essentials primarily, with Avast Free as a close second.

Also, could you use normal sentences? I know you're probably a bit freaked out, but it is a little hard to read your post that way.

Hi, Omar, and welcome to the forums.

I just Googled win32heur avg, and Google's autocomplete recommended win32heur avg false. You might want to try the same and see what people are saying.


It appears that AVG is reporting false positives for that particular virus. This sort of thing happens.


I'd suggest running a few more on-demand scanners. Malwarebytes and Superantispyware are good choices.

Get on a DIFFERENT computer, download kaspersky rescue disc, burn it to a blank disc, put it on your computer cd drive, and press f-12 when your computer is first booting up, and then follow the directions, it should fix your computer and it is free.

The F12 trick applies to some PCs but not others. Most PCs will try to boot from the CD drive before the hard drive, in which case you don't need to press anything. If you do need to press a key, it might be F10 or F1 or F2 for the boot menu.

And not all BIOSes have a boot menu. If they don't, you'll have to press whatever key brings up the setup screen, and change the boot order from there.

In my experience F12 usually does the trick. To enter setup, it's usually, Esc, F1, F2, F10, or Delete. Man, can they standardize it? Is it that hard? Not all systems are set to do the CD drive first though - you can change this if you want. I set mine to boot from the HD first, as it saves a little time. My systems happen to have that F12 boot menu, so I use that when I need to boot from a CD.

I think most still leave the factory set to boot from the CD first, which means that most are still set that way.

win32heur

The heur part means that AVG is just guessing, and should be taken with a grain of salt . This alert is not derived from a virus definition.

lol if you type 'heur' into google translate it thinks it's french and it means 'happiness'. Exactly what viruses DON'T provide for you.

lol... In this case it refers to a detection by heuristic analysis.

I Would like to suggest you to its better for you get an more updated form of antivirus. Or turn on your Anti-Malware for the sytem. I think this thing has attacked your system. so download it from some good source and keep it safe into your system. And i also like to suggest you keep an updated form of antivirus. its better for you to keep McAfee for your system as a antivirus.
