| My AVG anti virus program found the exploit virus but I cannot seem to

| Thanx in advance for any help.

Exploits are not viruses. Exploits may install malware such as viruses and trojans.
Please supply the EXACT message(s) or log extracts.

Well it is NOT a virus.
It is a HTML file in the IE caches that uses Exploit code.
Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.ik-cs.com/programs/virtools/Multi_AV.exe
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode [F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

| Well I went through this whole process which took several hours. The
| exploit bugger returned after the initial scan and cleaning said that
| it was gone. It was gone for a day and then returned. Now what?
|
| I tried to send it by e-mail to virus total but got error message
| saying that I needed to check my temporary file setting.

If it returned, then you most likely went back to a "bad" and malicious web site that caused
it to be cached.
Dump the contents of your IE cache -
Start --> settings --> control panel --> Internet options --> delete files
