That shows that AVG is once again quite useless in getting rid of even 
well-known old malware, which means it provides even less protection 
against new baddies.

This page

has easy click solutions (programs) for getting rid of this specific 
pest called VirtumundO (not VirtumundE), but you really should get a 
better antivirus than AVG, for example
