I know the adobe start up file and there is a reader sl that is brontok affiliated.It bares the same name.If were you please run a brontok test and a virut test just incase.
You need to use a special tool(downloaded file) for this.

That looks like the Task Manager virus.
You're screwed, buddy.

Do you have any other symptoms, task manager greyed out, run command disabled? It would help if you could take a screen shot of the startup tab of msconfig, with the columns adjusted so it can all be read correctly, what is running and from where. You might have to do a few so you can get it all in. Like this for example:

Seems he was using AVG which is why McAfee is the virus. Not likely that he's running 2 different anti viruses on his pc therefore I assume the McAfee is a virus... In any event McAfee is a reasonably useless anti virus while Avira on the other hand is pedantic producing a lot of false positives, but rather be over protected than under protected IMHO... There's always the exceptions list to bypass the false positives..
