Download 'CCleaner Basic' here http://www.ccleaner.com/download/bu...

Install and run it. Then purge the Restore Folder by going to 'Control Panel/ System/System Restore' and check the box ' Turn off system restore on all drives' click 'apply' and 'okay'.Reboot your computer and then enable system restore again and create a 'New Restore Point' by going to 'Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore'

Re-scan with AVG to see if it's gone.

fwiw... if they'd imparted this new information, we could've dealt with it there

Carry on, it doesn't seem too severe at this point

Here's another:

Last picture is a tad misleading (I think). It's tick box to disable, untick box to turn back on.
