Effed things up pretty bad the 1st time, had to do a complete wipe/reinstall. The 2nd time Avast caught it tho'.

Avast also uses much less in the background than AVG, but most of the unneeded AVG stuff can be turned off.
sounds like the 2nd time the code for the virus pattern was written to catch it coming via that port...sounds like you have another dimension in accessing the net.
