Ok this happened twice already, is it just a false alarm from AVG that it detects a virus from pop ups or things from torrent sites? I'm planning to do a factory clean up and I put all my files into one folder, I'm going to burn them, will the disk I burn be infected also? I remember the virus was located in program files and somewhere in mozilla folder... so will these disk be infected? Thanks
