Hi Christopher
Actually it came from a program I downloaded from a friends computer. I
later found out she got it from a P2P network. I thought I'd stopped it but
it seems not as AVG found it on the next scan. It seems AVG puts it into the
System Information area which is restricted to people like me. Although it
is neutralised it will keep coming up on each scan. The answer I've now
found is to turn off System Restore, reboot the machine and then turn back
on System Restore. This effectively wipes the files from System Information
and no longer shows up in scans.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
