Adaware Pro Viruses?

About a week ago, Ad-aware 07 found a rather nasty virus that might have been the dreaded Win32.TrojanSpyBanker virus but by another name. I panic clicked remove %26 it seemed to be gone but two days ago I scanned again and it found more viruses in some of the games I've downloaded months ago, which never had positives before...

^ Those I put in Quarantine.



Now today I'm finding viruses in my volume restore files...

I've updated and run AVG each time Ad-aware 07 (which is also updated daily/weekly) it finds nothing. Even now. I haven't done anything with the viruses found by AA07 %26 run AVG. Nothing.



My questions:



Am I really infected with these viruses?



Are these false positives?



Is the original virus I found spreading?



Are these safe to remove/quarantine?



If I select the viruses in quarantine and click remove, will they actually be removed or just removed from the quarantine list?



Adaware Pro Viruses?free spyware remover



My Answers:



鈾m I really infected with these viruses?



醿?yes and no, ad~aware finds spyware and malware, not viruses per say, avg does find viruses, but not meant for finding spyware, so yes if programs find these items , then best to delete or put in Quarantine/ vault for further research,
