I did as he said, but with a copy of the infected hard drive. The paper company needed their ads, but the hard drive they were on was infected, just all the exe's and scr's. I reloaded and had a fresh copy of Avast Fully updated installed after reload. I accidentally clicked on an exe infected with the Virut virus and it did not catch it until it was to late and AVG did not even see it! I had to completely reload the PC again and as soon as Windows was loaded, I loaded Antiviri. Antiviri will not clean Virut files but it will stop it from getting on the PC. Hope this helps all others out there that run an ISP and a PC shop.
