anybody else picking up nasties?

[Kali]

My morning AVG scans have been picking up trojans over the last couple days - haven't had anything caught in months and now 4 times in three days? twice it was something Generic 11.NXN in two different places and the other two times it was SHeur.CFNP in two places.


do I need to do anything or is confining them in the virus vault sufficient?

1. If it found them and dumped them into the vault

then there's nothing to fret about. Have you downloaded anything recently or been to some questionable web sites?

3. I don't think so, but I'm not the only user

I know the first one showed up on me only (I was the only one on the day before and it was caught the next morning)

2. I found both of those in my registry

in a couple different places. Just in case here is a link to an excellent program for helping to ferret out these trouble makers. Regseeker is one of my favorites to help keep the registry cleaned up.

4. I have a registry cleaner with CCleaner although I haven't run it yet.

is that good?
