    Ah, that file is simply stuck in the System Restore area. (AVG is very good at alerting about malware in that area, and it seems to alert pretty frequently, too. ;) )

    No anti-virus can clean entries from the System Restore area because it is protected by Windows. What you need to do is cycle System Restore, which will empty it out completely (including all old Restore Points) - deleting the bad files in the process. See this overview:

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039

    Basically turning it off and on again deletes all old restore points, including the malware trapped in there. That will stop the constant alerts from AVG's resident scanner.

    Hi Rebel, turn off System Restore

    Right Click My Computer
    Properties
    System Restore

    Place a tick in Turn off System Restore.

    Reboot your PC into Safe Mode (press F8 while booting back up)

    Run a further scan with AVG

    Hope this helps...

    Cheers :D

    now how to be safe from future bot infections?

    first, most of these use the vulnerabilities in windows to spread. if you had one, it usually means that your operation system is not fully up to date, so immediately go to windowsupdate and install those patches!

    get firewalled. see this link for info on firewalls

    keep your antivirus updated
