Do you think i can save my media file to an external hard drive or will it just jump to that hard drive and then to what ever pc i plug it into.

I did a clean install of windows xp, full format, installed and configured firewall and security programs, then connected to internet, after downloading updates for AVG 7.5, BANG!

Viruses detected on fully formatted newly installed windows xp pc, not all info available: Could there have been another reason for this, the AVG update?

C:\WINDOWS\system32\msvcr71.dll msvcr71.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\jscript.dll jscript.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllcache\jscript.dll jscript.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\jscript.dll jscript.dl
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msacm32.drv msacm32.drv
xrg.exe Local Settings\Temp\Trojan Horse Downloader 7AVKJ
iebtu.exe Program Files\Application\Trojan Horse.Generic 11.ANZI
iebu.exe Program Files\Application\Trojan Horse Downloader ZLob.ADKV
wcu.exe Program Files\Application\Trojan Horse Downloader ZLob.ADDJ
oanlvs.dll C:\WINDOWS\system32\Trojan Horse.Generic.11.AOUQ
A0003046.EXE C:\System Volume Information\restore(0210FB49-66DF-40EA)Trojan Horse Downloader ZLob.ADLR

Thanks for your help.
