Apparently this is necessary in cases where the malware is running and
can't be terminated by the antivirus program because it's "locked"
(protected) by Windows and always restarts with the puter. I don't know
if this is unnecessary with other AVs and is only an AVG weakness, but i
assume that this is specifically why one sometimes needs a specialized
antitrojan program -- at least if one doesn't want to start messing
around with command lines and learning DOS stuff.
