Hi,

Hi cdoolake,
Good!
Your system now is clean.

I do feel the detection by AVG is False Positive.
nircmd.exe is just part of a NirSoft tool. Sometimes it's refer to our own tool related with malware removal (If you got the help from any anti-malware forum)
Don't feel so worry about it.

Please note: Due to the restrictions on Vista, all tools should be started by Right-Click ---> Run As Administrator

Here is my advices :

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.

• Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a new and powerful anti-malware tool
• Only realtime protection need to pay.
• Tutorial on installing & using this product can be found below:
