Anti-virus programs no longer work once a virus gets installed. Their job is to stop a virus from running/installing, not to remove viruses that got installed. Virus programs take over anti-virus programs so they are not removed during scans. If you're lucking and know what the virus name is, you might be able to find a removal tool for it. Otherwise, it's time to clear the master boot record, format the drive and re-install the OS.
