Not a webpage, this thingy came up in my documents, and it said something about stealing passwords, and credit cards. It downloaded, and said I still have a virus.
But.. I clicked it off, and clicked it back on.. it was gone, and everythings still working. And.. I'm scared for no reason...

I've scanned it about two times with the AVG scanner, and it says everything is alright!
Wait! I think it might be one of thoses trick ones, when it tells you to do something and it steals something o.O I got one of thoses last year.. I'm still scared though xD

It probably was, if your computer isn't picking it up. If you're still scared, you could try turning off your computer for a few minutes, and the turning it back on. That's usually the best thing you can do as soon as you see a virus, to prevent downloading in such. It's a little late for you, but it might help give peace of mind c:

Different viruses do different things. Some are very hard to notice, but AVG is pretty good at keeping things safe. I suggest you don't pay for stuff online through that computer if you have another, but that's just to be extra cautious. If you have really important files, you could back them up by putting them on a flash drive or emailing them to yourself.
