To remove Downloader.Obfuskated virus, you need to download and install the program on your computer by clicking in the download link and then opening the installation file once it downloads. Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove spyware of different kinds from your computer. Spyware is a relatively new kind of threat that common anti-virus applications do not yet cover. Update the program by clicking on "Search for Updates." Scan for the program by clicking on "Check for Problems." This will perform a scan of all your computer's files.

Try to remove it from the safe mode. First update your current antivirus Avg, then start your pc in safe mode and then perform the scan, I am sure that you will be able to remove it. Or else you can try McAfee AVERT Stinger, it is not a substitute for the full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool that assists administrators and users when dealing with an infected system.

Some viruses themselves flash the BIOS, to load every time you boot. A scanner is, but can not get rid of it. Any BIOS set to default or remove the CMOS battery for 10 minutes to clear it. Or try system restore, restart in "safe mode" and then scan with AVG.
