AVG throws up a window saying i have a virus (Nachi.b) and displays the infected filename but when I run the scan it does not find it.

It's probably in the system restore if you have ME or XP.

Removal tool there to make sure.

Yep! I think you nailed it. Thank you! If i remember correctly the infected file was in some type of restore folder. I'll look again when I get home and if so will do this:

Manually Purge the Data Store
To completely and immediately remove the infected file or files in the data store, disable and re-enable the System Restore feature.

WARNING: Using the following steps will completely remove all restore points from the data store. Do not use this method if this will cause problems. When you enable the System Restore feature again, the System Restore feature will create a new restore point and then resume monitoring your computer.
Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel.
Double-click System, and then click the Performance tab.
Click File System, and then click the Troubleshooting tab.
Click to select the Disable System Restore check box, click Apply, click to clear the Disable System Restore check box, click Apply, and then click OK.
Restart the computer when you are prompted to do so. When the computer restarts, the data store is purged and the System Restore feature begins monitoring the system again.
