Computer Help! What does this mean?!?

Question

Alright, I have AVG Anti-virus, and I did a scan, it says that there are "No Threats" and I have no viruses in the "virus vault"

However, in the results section where it has result/infection - it lists a few dll files and says (result/infection - CHANGE).  (oh yeah there is also 1 .exe file that has "CHANGE" beside it.

WHat does this mean?   Are those files corrupted?  Are they viruses?  (I don't think so, since it says there are no threats on my computer), but. . . 

Anyway, can anyone answer my question?

You have changed something on your computer since the previous scan by AVG, an exe. file. AVG just notes this, but doesn't name it as a threat. I've seen this many times. There is nothing to worry about and you are fine.

To get AVG to quit showing them as changed, open the AVG Test Center, click the F3 key on your keyboard and tell it to accept the changes. If it still shows something as changed after this.. delete the file named AVG7QT.DAT in C:&#92; and AVG will rebuild it the next time it is run.

This is normal function of AVG, Look in AVG's Virus vault to see if you really have had an infrection.

Don't worry about that. I have avg as well and it says the same thing. It's not a virus and your files aren't currupted.

sounds like a laptop and avg free version, ti's normal, it will pick up changes made to some system files. might be a bug, but i doubt it.

threats would be immediate viruses that could possibly harm your computer

an infection most likely dictates that your computer probably has a trojan or something but doesn't harm your comp

it also could be a quaritined virus that has been captured but not nullified
