AVG found a booger on our PC just now

Or at least, it appears that is what happened. I don't get these alerts, so I'm hesitant to click on any part of this window/box because of concerns it could be a scam/virus installer itself.

Anybody ever see this type alert from AVG? If so, do I click "Move to Vault?"

Looks like an AVG alert to me, and Adobe reader/acrobat, as far as i know, is a commonly infected vulnerability.

The last time I opened an Acrobat document was Thursday afternoon... our HVAC company sent us a copy of the yearly maintenance contract by email and it was a .PDF ...so, what should I do... just "Move to Vault?"

Adobe doesn't get infected when you use it. It has vulnerabilities that, AFAIK, let viruses and malware invade your machine through those holes in it's security.

If i'm wrong, i am sure someone will say so, but that's what i remember hearing.

May be you have an virus inside that file that does not mean your adobe is corrupt. Click on Move to Vault and than you can remove from it. Hope this will help you.
