reboot to let malwarebytes cleanup
upload C:\WINDOWS\system32\TGVFDMsgservice.exe to www.virustotal.com to check it out
If you haven't all ready done it, Install Malwarebytes and do a FULL (not quick) scan (after updating it), fix anything found before closing, otherwise you'll have to do it all over again. If anything was found reboot the machine before continuing. http://www.filehippo.com/download_malwarebytes_anti_malware/
If you know you have just been infected, with a fake antivirus for example, running system restore to a previous restore point is often the fastest way of getting your machine working again
Making any changes to a PC setup always comes with a slight risk of something going wrong, the worse case scenario is an unbootable PC - ideally you should have got a backup of important data on dvd or external disk, and a disk image backup (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp) or windows disc/factory restore partition available before you start. In the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, post on another pc for advice.
Install and run ccleaner (untick the google toolbar during the install). Untick the "windows log files" box, under the system heading before cleaning. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim
If you suspect an infection, here are some other virus scanners to try, let them fix anything found
http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/AVPTool/
http://www.surfright.nl/en/hitmanpro
http://support.kaspersky.com/downloads/utils/tdsskiller.exe
Scanning with all the scanners above along with your resident scanner should remove most or all infections if there are any present on your machine, below is some specific (optional) advice based on your log which may help to improve speed and tidy things up.
This is a general guide on cleaning up infections and speeding up pc's https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2436849 .

Ok while it's scanning away...
If you know you have just been infected, with a fake antivirus for example, running system restore to a previous restore point is often the fastest way of getting your machine working again - HOW? SORRY, I'M A NUMPETY!
Making any changes to a PC setup always comes with a slight risk of something going wrong, the worse case scenario is an unbootable PC - ideally you should have got a backup of important data on dvd or external disk, and a disk image backup (http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.asp) or windows disc/factory restore partition available before you start. In the unlikely event that anything does go wrong, post on another pc for advice. - I HAVE NO BACK UPS WHATSOEVER, DOM'T THINK I'LL BE ABLE TO MAKE MUCH USE OF THAT PROGRAMME VIA THE LINK AS HAVE NOTHING TO BACK UP ON.2009 Wins = £833

The OP did specifically request that you put everything in lament terms, so I hope this helps address that:
"I ask with sorrow in my heart, how did you manually remove this terrible thing?
For it is great regret that I ask you to download this:

It would be a cause for great sadness if you do not install, update, and do a full scan and then post a log. I feel your loss keenly."0 -
