Hi,
I recently got infected by downloader. z and dowloader. small trojans. I have found out that downloaders are related

to malware. My Avg 7.5 software quarentined these trojans and put them in a vault. However, my computer still

crashed and when I restarted, would not open windows. My question is do trojans sometimes cause damage even if in

quarentine? Or could a more sinister trojan have been at work like a backdoor? I'm a bit worried about the trojans

taking personal documents from my computer.

I did reinstall the system disk and everything is running fine now.

Thank You for your help.
