Yesterday AVG found a virus - Downloader.Obfuskated. I scanned my computer again straight after it was found and nothing came up. It's in the virus vault and says it's not healable and is infected. I've done all of the steps in the other thread and have some of the reports, so if I need to post them, just tell me.. thanks! here's my log:
