    Hi Gaz25,

    What names did AVG give the critical objects? Details... What message did you get when you tried to delete it with AVG?

    I only came across one example so far with AVG and I wasn't able to repair it but I could delete it or put it in the Vault. From there I can also delete it.

    I used to get those kind of ones before I started using NoScript for Firefox.
    I think they were from dodgy java sites.

    Also have a cleanup script running at bootup that deletes that folder so if you just do that it should work. :p
    Also, if they got into any System Restore points you should delete those too.

    In fairness I don't believe that link is any better then a spam mail trying to sell you some antivirus software, not one of the links actually seems to go directly to a companys website such as Symantec without going through a referal first.

    The keywords listed over and over at the bottom also don't make it look any better ;)
