IC...I suspected as much, having seen numerous posts on this subject, but I was not aware that manually changing the files back would be futile...I suspect from the tone of your post that said 'virus' is not a simple one time script that one can just clean up after...

considering my semi-retired status and the fact I certainly don't feel like doing the research necessary to answer the following, perhaps you can?

so what exact type of file is spreading this virus?

Do you know that not a single poster has even suggested what exactly they have downloaded that gives them this virus...
Birdy has done some research and found that the file says something along the lines of mp3.exe...That's the best we can go by at the moment...

Also once AVG has cleaned this little baby up not a file is left, they lose their whole Library...
Sounds like RIAA to me...
