windows 7 - Bootkit.0010 issues?

Did read this: How can I remove malicious spyware, malware, adware, viruses, trojans or rootkits from my PC?


But, computer I have is out of the box (OEM) and I've never connected it to the internet. Just did the install, and was starting working on moving applications (anti-spyware, etc) over to it via a USB drive, when I got a notification saying I have bootkit.0010:

Of course the AVG on the computer won't do anything (nothing happens when clicking 'protect me'), not connected to the internet so can't get 'show details'.

Downloaded that, and moved it (via the same USB drive, only one available and not formattable) to the computer, installed/run it, and it finds nothing.


Found this, trying it next: http://www.avg.com/us-en/remove-win32-bootkit.tpl-stdfull


What else should I be trying?
