Right.

1) Ignore the few previous posts which say to format your PC, that's way overkill. Ignore the previous post saying to defragment your PC too, that does nothing virus/security related, it simply re-organises system files.

2) AVG isn't great, my friend had AVG, I gave him a copy of my Norton 360 and I told him to run an AVG scan, (he found no viruses), he then installed Norton 360 and it found 27 viruses, that in itself should say something. I suggest buying a better product, I have only tried Norton 360 but I've been using it 3 years running and it has not let me down, the few viruses I have encountered it gets rid of without even clicking anything Happy

3) If Norton 360 isn't possible money-wise, I suggest doing a system restore, to a date before you got the virus. Depending on whether it's a "clever" virus will determine whether it will go. If the virus is coded well it will avoid being deleted by the simple task of system restore, if it's coded by a noob then that should fix it.

4) If number 3 fails, then I suggest, when you start your PC, don't close anything, press CTRL + ALT + DEL, go to Task Manager and go to processes, anything which looks suspicious make a note of the file extension.

5) Locate the file within your system and delete it. This, again, like number 3, is a very basic way of getting rid of the virus and if it's coded well it will not work, unfortunately.

This is all I know, sorry if it does not work :(

Worked every single time, never ever failed me. I'd pay if they asked for money too.
Mostly virus's around spyware, malware, pop ups and stuff like that
Forget ALL the other posts, and just try this, I promise you.

Use this.I have used this twice.Read the users review if you dont trust it.This is not an antivirus program.Its main function is just to search for suspicious files ang give you the option to delete it.

Reformatting your PC is your last resort.
