My anti-virus has detected a Keenval.Downloader.B virus in my system Volume Information folder. A message comes up telling me it has detected it and to run the virus scanner, but when I do run it on that folder, it doesn't pick anything up.

My anti-virus is AVG version 6.

How do I get rid of the virus from there?
