My full version of AVG is reporting that I have a virus Win32/Heur, which has affected 5 files. They have been isolated in the Virus Vault. The main affected file is pcrypt44.exe. A compete AVG scan now reports a clean system. Unfortunately, when I download a new copy of pcrypt44 and unzip it, AVG reports a new infection of the file. I have downloaded ATF_Cleaner and ran it. I have also downloaded HJT and its logfile is below.

I use pcrypt44 for encrypting/decrypting financial information and I would very much appreciate any advice about what I should do now to avoid being reinfected when I attempt to use it.
