Luhe.Fihe.AL threat.

[Barrymore]

I have the AVG free anti virus version.
Out of the blue, on trying to access Microsoft Word, all hell broke loose.
AVG windows popped up warning me of the above threat linked to microsoft word.
I closed all warning notices then ran AVG, scanning my entire computer.
Before the scan was complete I got a message "AVG User Interface has a problem and needs to close"
Message "Unspecified error occurred in the following AVG component - avgui.exe."
"AVG will find the best method to remove this threat"
AVG have been trying all sorts of tricks to get me to buy the upgraded version.
I suspected this was the case here so declined the offer.
I re-started the computer and ran the scan again. This time it completed the scan.
It identified Luhe.Fiha as the treat and gave me the option to "remove all"
End result. Microsoft word and Excel have been removed from my computer.
I can re-install those programs but I would like to know if this threat has now permanently been removed.

AVG is junk...this is what i posted on another forum:

In fact someone today asked me to look at their laptop, she claimed it was slow. I did a full AVG 2014 (1 Year licence) scan 0 viruses, I dont trust AVG so I uninstalled it and replace it with Avast 9 Free. After doing a full scan it found 9 viruses, I deleted them, rebooted and it was instantly faster.


Just goes to show you have bad AVG is.

MS Security Essentials, Malwarebytes Antimalware and Peerblock, sorted.
I tried AVG and had the same experience as Rickster's post above - MSE picked up everything and removed. Avast is also a good option, ran it years ago with no issues - seemed to catch everything.
