well
our one computer is infected by the autorun.vbs and one virus that make the folder called office documents in every folder and drive....

we used avg pro version with all updates....

the virus was dectected in scan and among 4 virus 2 were said to be healed and 2 move to vault

now problem is the virus is self replicating..
after the scan has been finished and either moved ,helaed..it reappers after some time...

and avg keeps on giving notification message again and again ..as if the ativirus itself is doing work of virus obstructing other activities....

so how to get rid of this self replicating virus...

boot into DOS mode. go to that folder. Delete the files.
Or use AVAST. AVAST is better than AVG (i think so). I deleted these replicating viruses with avast many times.
