Hello,
first you have to be sure that the virus is removed, after that you can go back to restore points and try and restore your settings; in alternative, after you have removed the virus, you can restore your data from a backup (I hpe you had backups!).
Bye

Im not sure if AVG can remove this version. Are you using the current version of AVG?
Are you using any AntiSpyware? Spybot might remove it, …
If not, you could head for a good help Forum.
Try MajorGeeks Forum.
You’ll have to register and then dnload and run “Hijack This”.
Run the program and submit the results log to the Malware section of the Forum.
They are good people there and will help you.

Heres the link for MajorGeeks Help Forum
