If you suspect that a file is infected, please try to update AVG Free and run the whole computer scan again.
If the file is not detected after updating AVG and you are still in doubt, put the file into password-protected archive using a program such as WinZip, WinRar, or PowerArchiver, attach the archive to an e-mail and send it to virus@avg.com. Describe why you are sending the file and type the password for the archive in the body of the e-mail.
