Have you tried pulling up the activity screen(?), or the program manager thing and stopping the program, as if it's running windows won't
let you do much with it. Then quickly try to remove it. Used to work a lot of the time for me.

Does avg give you the name of the virus? Or just the file created?

Prospector setup is a legit ebay tool program but you have an extra .jpg file extension in there. Is it in add/remove programs so you can uninstall
it?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

i think it was suspicious due to the hidden extension. Ive deleted the program off the desktop now and its running a scan. Hopefully a false alarm!
But i did let the norton run out for a few weeks before i got a free scanner! 
scan just finished with nowt found though so i guess the drama is over! Cheers anyway.
