Default Best way to remove a virus (worm) from my PC

I have the free AVG anti-virus software on my computer. It has been doing a solid job since I got it. A couple of nights ago I was moving some j.peg pictures onto a memory stick. I had downloaded them to my hard drive from an e-mail. When I was doing this I got some AVG pop up warning alert.

Now everytime I switch my computer on. I get a pop up box appearing on the desktop that says -

RUN DLL
Error loading C:users/Gary/AppData/Local/Temp/2gcwbind.dll

I can close it and use the computer as normal but its bugging me knowing something isn't right.

I did a scan of the computer using AVG and it has located a worm. I guess this is connected to the warnings I got. It says it cannot 'heal' this worm. If I 'force move' this it may cause my system to crash. My question is, should I 'force move' this to the AVG 'virus vault' or just leave it ? Everything seems to be working as normal.

Thanks for any advice.
