I have a feeling you may have to work in safe mode to remove.
However Norton have a removal too for this little devil which you can download here :- http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/FixWelch.exe
They have the full spec for this virus/worm and details of the removal process here :- http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/w32.welchia.worm.html
You may also need to turn off your system restore BEFORE running the removal tool. Check the spec/info page first.
Good Luck . . .

If you go to Symantec for the Removal Tool as per the above Post - before you Download the Tool - Print out the Instructions - and then read carefully - twice - before you start - follow the Instructions to the letter

Didn't your AV proggie move the virus to Quarantine? You should be safe.

AVG could not put the virus in their Vault and heal it. That's why I went to Symantec. I have removed it already. I have only a free version of AVG.

The free version will stop you becoming infected, given that it has been set up to scan emails and opened files etc . .
It's what I have been using for the last year or so. Catches them every time . . ;o)
