My AVG Free warns me, I send the JS downloader Agent and all Trojan
horses to the virus vault. The warnings come up even on apparently
"safe-site" downloads like File Hippo.

Is there any obvious danger is just sending them all to AVG virus
vault as they occur? How do I try to remove these download-triggered
viruses and trojans?

There does not seem to be any present obvious effect otherwise on my
system or its functions. I keep all my AV, anti-spyware and anti-
adware protections updated regularly.

Thanks for any feedback.
