I want to uninstall AVG Antivirus but there's two trojans on the virus vault that are unhealable. What happens to them and am I at risk of being infected with them again when its removed?

Cheers

Well, the virus vault has the ability to delete those torjans, so do that, then uninstall.

it's prolly better if it doesn't - so it doesn't delete something you didn't intend

Because, they may be infecting important system files without you knowing, so it moves them to the virus vault just in case.

Well one of them is called link.exe and was put in my root c folder, nothing too important there then as it musthave downloaded itself. The other one is called winlogon.exe and was in the c:\docs n settings\all users\start menu\programs\startup\winlogon.exe. That sounds a little more important.

you can search file names on google to find explanations and see if they are real win files or not.
