Honestly, I don't rate AVG.
I would use Avast.
Bit late, I know.0 -
Try running AVG in Windows Safe Mode.
If that doesn't work, turn off System Restore and run it again. (assuming you are running XP/2000 here), as it will not disinfect files inside a restore point. After running, turn on System Restore and create a new restore point.
I wouldn't be quite so quick to rubbish AVG JUST yet - it seems to work for tens of thousands of people out there, and gets good results in antivirus tests against the Nortons and McAfees of this world. But it's a personal choice which one anyone uses.
