right click my computer, properties, system restore, uncheck system restore this will solve it
Check to see where it is detecting the virus. There are some locations that AVG does not scan typically. This may be the case.

Try going to start then run and type in sfc \scannow You have to have the space this will repair all protected windows files. Insert any discs in need and the see if it's repaired. If that doesn't work then try going into C:/Windows/i386 and do a search for a replacment file. I hope this helps
