Recovering from a virus infection isn’t always as easy as just installing and running an AV program.

I’ve been using it for two years, and it has never failed me once. Use Symantec’s removal tool, install AVG, run the updater, scan the drive – you’re done. 🙂

Then do the same with *.exe in the temp directory. It’s quick way to get up to speed. THEN run the removal tool.
