So I just got a Virus, I don't know how since my internet cord was unplugged, and I came back to my computer, and found out I had it. Anyways, I use AVG, and I put the Virus called Trojan Horse PSW Onlinegames in the Vault. Then I went to the vault and clicked remove all. I also did this with Malwarebytes, did a scan, then clicked removed all. Does that mean the virus is gone? Also, it says Online games in the virus name? Does that mean their mostly after peoples accounts? So they can hack my Maple account, or is it impossible? I'm so scared :[

No, it might still be there, hidden somewhere. I'd do one virus scan and one spyware scan a day until the scans show nothing suspicious 3 times in a row. Then you should feel pretty safe. I don't think someone would make a virus just to hack your Maple account, don't worry o.o They're probably more interested in a botnet or bank accounts. So make sure you don't use any payment sites until you're sure the virus is gone.

scan in safemode so the virus doesn't redownload it self..

Have you downloaded any programs recently? People may disagree, but I do believe that it could be a keylogger. As Protevs said, after doing a scan, restart your computer, then put it in safe mode, and do another scan.
