AVG has just detected EXPLOIT virus. It has infected all of my Excel files. I have moved the infected files to the virus vault, but I cannot heal them. How can I restore the data in the Excel files and get rid of the virus?

Please download ATF-Cleaner to your desktop from this link http://www.atribune.org/content/view/19/2/ We will need it later in safe mode Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware We will need this later in safe mode Be sure to update AVG Anti- Spyware Empty the restore folder. Go to start>control panel>system>system restore tab>check the box beside "turn off system restore>apply (takes a minute)>ok. Go back and uncheck the box to turn system restore back on>apply>ok. I know this sounds wierd but release the infected files from virus vault and maybe we can clean the files. Open AVG> click "virus vault"> click "action"> click "restore files". Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following : Restart your computer After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually; Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear; Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
