Had this on a colleagues

This is how I fixed it

Booted up in safe mode
Ran AVG whilst in safe mode

Now it gets a bit hazy, I either rebooted and got the normal desktop and then used system restore to restore the machine to a known good date or I did it from safe mode - I think the former.

This cleared it and then allowed me to run AVG again and came up with no errors/infections

This was on an acer laptop running XP SP3
