I use AVG as my security.
I also use Photobucket to
share pics on this site.
Today I got a warning of
a threat from AVG saying
Trojan Horse Generic 10.VPD
What does this mean?

it means your antivirus has detected a virus. or at least, a potetential virus. u need to check it out asap before it becomes a bigger problem. good luck.

you can google .. "trend housecall" for a free online virus scanner .. it also has an extensive database/library on known threats.. as well as manual removal steps.. if you chose to do it manually. the library includes technical details on the compromise.. as well as a general overview on potential compromise.
it never hurts to use more than one tool to scan for vulnerabilities.

I do use other programs
such as CCleaner n Spybot.
When this came up it was in
a box from AVG and than I
clicked on Heal and supposely
that took care of it or did it?
This Trojan Horse was from Photo-
bucket is what AVG said.
