It is possible that AVG has returned a false positive and you are not infected with a nasty.

worm/vb.aug is a variant of worm/agobot. AVG have released an update and cleaner to get rid of it. You may find that once rid it will still show as being in the vault. if so this is just a copy of then entry and not the virus it self so you can safely delete from here.
Re system restore points. A lot of viruses infect themselves into your restore points so each time you restart using system restore you are restarting with an infected entry. A lot of viruses require that you turn off system restore, reboot and get rid of the virus then enable system restore again. You will lose all your previous restore points but you wont be infected.
Have a look at symantec virus database if you get a virus and they will normally tell you the removal steps and whether you need to take this actions.
