AVG Problem??!!

Problem there is Joe there could be one well wrapped file that is the cause and not getting noticed by any AV.

So it may cure the infected files, but may not cure the cause. A reformat will 100% wipe it out.

yup, i'd go with what dab says, its definately evidence of a virus, another possibility would be to try and use a boot disk, with a mini os on it like linux or a mini xp etc and try and do a virus scan using that

A HIPS or application firewall should be able to detect that as the effective behavior is analyzed, not the code behind it. The code needs to be executed, though, so you can't really remove it when it's dormant, on/from another PC.

True, but some AV's will not bother rechecking a binary after unwrapping in memory.
