My friend's pc was attacked by Antivirus XP 2008.
Following simple instructions from Avast helped him remove Antivirus XP 2008 virus entirely.
1. Turn off system restore: Start/Control Panel/System/System Restore and check "Turn off System Restore."
2. Schedule a boot time scan in Avast with the advanced option to move infected items to the chest:
start Avast, right-click in the main window, select Schedule Boot-time Scan, select advanced options and choose "Move to Chest."
3. Restart the computer when prompted. Avast will restart and do a boot-time scan.
After the scan has finished and moved any viruses to the chest, do the following:
4. Turn system restore back on.
5. Download and run the lastest version of AdAware (www.lavasoft.com).
6. Remove any threat it finds.
7. When prompted to create a restore point in AdAware do so.
