WHAT!?!? A virus passed Avast? no shuch thing has ever happened!! (ok maybe avast isn't that good, but i like it xD)
Never had a virus, there have been two occasions where I have come in contact with a virus (whilst downloading files / browsing etc...) but my anti-virus took care of them before they got loose ^^

Nuked the hard drive. Put it back to factory settings.
Only way to get rid of it, and I have no idea how it got there in the first place.

Download and run Malwarebytes.S.R.S. said:

Dont use internet explorer
Dont run your browser as administrator.
I deleted the map from which I believed it to have originated. Didn't work, I couldn't delete it. SO I called in the Norman quarantine squad to completely isolate it and then I took great pleasure in DELETING THE FUCK OUT OF IT. Then I let Norman perform one big sweep on my computer, frizzing some little hidden motherfuckers in the process.
It was a reasonably harmless Trojan, I believe, as I was able to keep the same settings and did not have to nuke anything. I'm not a virus buff so I wouldn't know really. All I know is that I got rid of it.

Freaked out and lit my house on fire.
What I really did was send the computer that was broken to my uncle to wipe it clean and move the bedroom computer to the living room with the internet.
Intill it got fixed, what happen was the computer kept insiting that whatever website I wanted to go was wrong and would redirct me to porn or some book website.

Hmm I think it was 2 weeks ago AVG detected one... Then it destroyed it.
I get the works every few days(Trojans, malware, worms etc), but I have something called Rollback, which restores Windows back to settings that are set every few days. If I didn't have it, this laptop would be either in a shop or a landfill right now.
The last virus I got Avast! Noticed and even with both Avast and Malware bytes I could not get rid of it, and it eventually destabilized my OS and I had to reformat:/
oh god that sucked ass the last time i got a virus, had to put almost everything on a external hard drive and then proceed to wipe out the rest of my comp clean then put everything back on it. took a few days. I got the virus from some hacker who was putting random links on msn chat windows.
