Remove MalSign.Generic.6BB Virus Step By Step

Hi there. I use AVG Internet Security program to protect my computer and it has been working good. But yesterday AVG started telling me that I have a virus called MalSign.Generic.6BB on my computer. I tried to remove it but it seems AVG can’t help at all. It tells me that the threat has been removed but after 30 minutes or so it keeps notifying me that the virus has been detected again and again. I’m frustrating now. Is there any other way to get rid of this virus without reinstalling Windows? I don’t want to lose any files. Thanks.
