Trojans, viruses, worms
Say you have a trojan, worm, or virus that a program like Avast finds on your computer. Everyone knows that these malicious programs dont always stay in one place. My question is when the nasty is found, and it is removed, do all the remnants of the program that have spread into other files get removed too? If not, can they still do damage since part of the program has been removed? Thank You.

When you say remnants what your actually talking about is the virus itself.
A program like Avast finds all occasions of the Virus and strips it from your PC.
I personally have never lost any data to a vius but am aware that this is possible. Its usually due to the fact that no Anti-Virus software is on the PC in the first place.
Hope this helps.
