Is Brontok.exe the same with about.brontok.a it's an HTML file? Wat's the worst case damage does this virus do? Can AVG detect this virus?

here are the fixes, my sis' pc got hit by this... most likely through email or infected cd/disks
what it practically do is create an exe file of _every_ folder it finds... and replicating itself, it also disables the option tab in the tools of your folder, one more... it freaking disables the regedit...
so you have to download a fix patch from symantec...

please locate the ff. files and delete them..
eksplorasi.exe
bronstab.exe

If i find this file and delete it on my system does it mean my computer is already safe from this virus? and it wont infect it again?
