10.7.4. Warnings Tab
The
Warnings
tab displays information on "suspected" objects (
typically files
)
detected during scanning. When detected by the
Resident Shield
, these files are
blocked from being accessed. Typical examples of this kind of findings are: hidden files,
cookies, suspicious registry keys, etc. Such files do not present any direct threat to
your computer or security. Information about these files is generally useful in case
there is an adware or spyware detected on your computer. If there are only Warnings
detected by an AVG test, no action is necessary.
This is a brief description of the most common examples of such objects:
·
Hidden files
- The hidden files are by default not visible in Windows, and some
viruses or other threats may try to avoid their detection by storing their files
with this attribute. If your AVG reports a hidden file which you suspect to be
malicious, you can move it to your
AVG Virus Vault
.
·
Cookies
- Cookies are plain-text files which are used by websites to store
user-specific information, which is later used for loading custom website
layout, pre-filling user name, etc.
·
Suspicious registry keys
- Some malware stores its information into Windows
