Winfile32.exe detected on PC

AVG has just detected winfile32.exe on my PC and I have pressed heal on the options. I gather this is a worm but don't know how serious it is or what it does. Do I have to take any further action, or is it sufficient that AVG has apparently healed it ?

should be ok if AVG healed it....
may be worth a full scan of the pc with it in safe mode to be sure

How do you do this with pc in safe mode. I have often heard about safe mode but I am totally clueless about it0
