I'm guessing this is a laptop. 60GB HDDs were pretty popular for laptops 2-5 years ago. Umm, no clue on how to compress it. I don't use AVG. Sorry. |

You can delete those infected files stored in the Virus Vault. There's a Delete feature there... >.>  |

Delete the virus using 'HijackThis' and change your antivirus programme.AVG sucks big time buddy.Unless you're using the premium version. Personally I prefer Avast or BitDefender     |

| I advice you that you uninstall your AVG Antivirus. It is not good anti-virus for your PC because it has minimal support and slow-actions and responce for new virus. That virus vault is like a default standby harddisk space to be used by your AntiVirus (AVG) for the new virus, virus signature, virus tags, or anything else that is all about identifying and possible antidote for a kind of virus that is to be analyse by the AVG. It is like a Quarentine Area, but its only a reserve space and it will be filled up after a virus attack/attemps, new virus warnings, or some sort like that. It can be deleted, but after a couple of months, it will filled up again and again and again. I hate AVG because of that too. Better replace it with much secure and hassle free antivirus. |

well I haven't noticed that before, but on AVG 8.0 you could adjust that on the setting found on the drop down menus. you could reduce it to 1% and adjust how long are they going to stay in there. AVG is doing fine for me. just one nasty Trojan went pass through though and it embedded it self to the OS. preventing me from accessing any AV site, except the one its advertising. It's amazing what people could do these days. and it cannot delete those files with s, h, r, attributes it could detect them but not delete them. I could solve that problem though. it automatically scans the folders you are opening, even system restore points, though it can't remove those also you have to delete that restore point your self. you may have to disable its link scanner if it causes your browser to crash. |

| I dont think that AVG is exactly the safest thing, I had nortan and I was just randomly puting in AVG to see how it would go, and Nortan picked up a trojan horse... |
