avg finds trojan js/banker

more options

i'm using dev edition (i don't know if it's the right place to post) and when i try to login on a site avg warn me that two files in profiles folder could be trojan JS/Banker. Is it just an AVG problem and i just need to add them to the exceptions? Thank you in advance (and sorry for my broken english).

What location and file does AVG report?

If this in the disk cache (AppData\Local) then this is likely a false positive and you can ignore it.

Did you try to clear the disk cache?
