By the sympioms it appears that the virus did some damage before deleting it.That is why an antivirus program should disinfect and repair and not just delete OR quarantine.Obviously your antivirus did not stop it's downloading of the virus or repair quickly enough. That is why I insalled 3 antivirus and an anti worm-trojan proram(s) but allow only one to run at startup and in the background.I diable the running one to run another and usually catch remnants of a spybot,virus trojan, or worm.
Do not have the following combos: major conflicts if on copmputer at same time
Norton--McAfee
Kaspersky-Comodo
NOD-AVG7
OK for:
Asquared-AVG7-Awil(Avast)
Panda-AVG7

use msconfig.exe to disable all non-microsoft components from starting up, then try to narrow down which one is causing, this will require a lot of reboots
