I've seen this message twice now from AVGFree '13, the first time being about a week ago.
It tells me that "The file is signed with a broken digital signature," resulting in an "infected" file or directory.
Can anyone tell me what this means, and if it's a matter of importance?
For the record, I'm also running a full system scan with MalwareBytes at the same moment, and so far it's picked up nothing.
AVG scan was 30minutes, MalwareBytes is at 34 minutes and counting.

There's a virus in system 32. Delete it.

I have no idea. I did have to fix my uncle's computer recently though. He gets viruses on a daily basis...

Punch your computer until it goes away.

You should get a different antivirus to see if it has the same results.
