I guess this is the right place to post this, maybe. When I got home from school today, I found a message on my computer from AVG stating that I had a virus called "heur32". Research into it tells me that it's a virus that can spread itself to other systems in the computer, etc. Oddly, however, the file it claims is infected with said virus is Perfect World, a game I downloaded several years ago and never bothered to uninstall.
Also of note, my computer doesn't actually have AVG, yet "AVG" claims that I had the virus. One scan of malware bytes came up with the files as infected, but attempting to heal them seemed to cause it to stop running effectively. Closing the program and scanning again, a full scan with microsoft security essentials and further quick scans with Malwarebytes has come up with nothing. Also of note is that, in the past, Rogueware such as windows defender 2011 has claimed that the same files were infected through its popups. Windows task manager does not come up with anything in processes as heur or anything of the sort, despite many people saying it would come up.
However, for safety's sake, would it be worth it to do a system restore to yesterday or the day before, and would this mitigate the virus? I'm not that great with computers, and an easy way to understand if something's actually wrong would be helpful. Obviously I'm biased to think this is a freak incident, but advice on this would be much appreciated.
