    I have two trojans horses and one exploit virus in my virus vault. None of the objects can be healed.

    The trojans have been in the vault for about a month and I just got the exploit today

    What happens if I wipe them and is it safe to do so? Will thye still be on the computer and could they do any harm after being wiped?

    Not much if any harm will come out of deleting them...

    So I can let AVG Wipe them with no harm done then?

    Assuming it isn't a false positive, then no harm will be done.

    You are better off keeping them in quarantine.

    More important question is how did these get on your computer in the first place? As with many things prevention is better than cure. I'd suggest looking critically at the internet sites you visit or download from, installing anti-spyware software, such as SpyBot Search and Destroy and using a firewall.
