I have got the virus Swizzor.8.BK and as yet have had no luck in being able to remove it. I have tried with AVG, AdAware and Spybot and nothing has any effect. Avg detects it and removes it for about an hour but then it comes back with a vengeance. Any help would be great,

Have you turned system restore off, restarted the computer? During the restart you need to enter the safe mode using the F8 or F2 key, you then select administrator when prompted and then run AVG's scan while in the safe mode? After the scan restart again, run one more scan and if the system is clean you can turn system restore back on. To gain access to system restore, select My Computer properties, system restore. HTH
