Hmm.... im not quite sure about this... I've not encountered this virus.. i recently however had a boot sector virus which was a bit annoying.. Mhh, although im not a fan of AVG.... you could try what HamsterMan suggested, or if that doesnt work, try finding a different virus scanner. Nod32 works great for me most of the time.
Avg dnt work with this virus ill try to scan other anti virus but im infected..tired..
New Folder.exe has faced me several times, it's being created by another virus program called setup.exe which is hiden in the drive's root e.g C:/, D:/, F:/, G:/, etc... You can figure out if the drive is currying "SETUP.EXE", just go to My Computer then right click on any Drive over there, in the right click menu if "Auto..." is the top of all, there is a hidden "SETUP.EXE" in that certain drive. If you click "Auto..." the virus installs itself into the machine and searches another drive in which she copies another New Folder.exe and Setup.exe. Even it can hide certain folders names and rename itself as the innocent folder e.g. myfile.exe, it uses a tichnique to hide the extension "EXE" so the only thing you can see is myfile with the icon of real folder. If you click it, the sky will fall on your head...
However, it seems that AVG didn't recognize it yet. I used Kaspersky Antivirus. http://www.kaspersky.com, and I think this is the best tool to remove it. I don't know if McAfee and Symentic (Norton) can do that job, too...
Oki thanks for the advise and its great that you help me out ..im still sick for this virus he disable my task manager the folder options the registry , cmd, damn virus, i think i have to format my pc..
before u format the system... try a system restore.
start\programs\accessories\system tools\system restore. restore to the point where u think the virus doesn't exist.

Nice advise, this saves time to reformat the Computer, however, I think many viruses create a restore point automatically.
To prevent such virus, make a file named new folder.exe and make it readonly.

There are several viruses that use the name NewFolder.exe
Tell me the exact properties of your virus file (file size, icon), Or even better, send me a copy of the virus. I can analyze the virus and make an antidote for it. Just zip and upload to rapidshare or someplace and m me the link. I'll make an antidote for you
I'll detroy the virus to smithereens

I'll detroy the virus to smithereensHave you tried running the (free) McAfee Stinger? This is a virus removal utility that has a pretty good track record - it is probably a better idea than some "home-brew" removal batch files.

There are several viruses that do the same thing.
I need to know the files size. (Right click and see properties)
One particular virus which does that is sscvihost.exe.
Others include brontok, ssvichosst.exe, explorer.exe, newfolder.exe, and many others.
Here is the cure for sscvihost.exe
Use at your own risk. I am not responsible if your computer hangs, crashes, or goes up in smoke. Like Animal(Adam) said, never trust home-brew batch files unless they are from me

I'm in the process of making cures for the other viruses too, but currently, I have a test coming up and am studying for it.
I'll be back in a few days.

. I'm working on making my own antivirus software. But haven't got time for it yet. Maybe next weekend or something. Have lots of tests coming up this week 
I'm making antidotes for more viruses one by one, especially for the viruses that NOD32 and Kaspersky are not detecting. If you find viruses like that, just send me the details and I'll see if I can make an antidote for it.
