So I left my computer to go on xbox, and I unplugged my internet cord, I come back, and it says Threat detected (AVG box). The virus is called Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames. I know my main priority is to remove it, but I don't know how to. It said OnlineGames in the virus name, so I'm wondering 2 things, how the hell did I get a virus while not on my computer, and my internet cord unplugged, and secondly, will my Maplestory accounts get hacked?

Just run a scan with AVG and it should remove it, hopefully. You could also try downloading malwarebytes anti malware and update it then do a scan. What was the infected file called?

Your AVG was randomly scanning and caught it.

Ughh, I'm starting to get sad. I'm scanning with a new anti-virus or whatever the hell it is. SpyHunter3. I just started making a lot of money and made a 24 Brawler, and I might lose it all and 90mil. ;[[

Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames isn't the name of the file , its the name of the virus , two different things. I'm pretty sure that Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware will be able to remove it, link
