a anti virus cannot remove all virus because by the time when your computer is at least infected by 17-20 files, it may become unresponsive leaving the anti virus unable to attack properly.However, it could delete most virus, but new one, as anonymous ones may be created therefore not making the anti virus software to attack and remove.
