Default Nyxem.e security

Hi,

I recently read about the Nyxem.e virus which is supposed to corrupt a bunch of important file types this friday 3 february. The files it distroys are:

*.doc
*.xls
*.mdb
*.mde
*.ppt
*.pps
*.zip
*.rar
*.pdf
*.psd
*.dmp

As you can see it would totally f*ckup anything ive ever done if I would be infected. I scanned with the F-secure removal utility and it said I was clean but I want to be sure. I am using AVG Free which updates regularly. How can I be very sure I'm not infected?

Here's a small article about it:

You can scan with some online AV's if you want to check , see link below.

If youre AV and firewall still work without problems , then you are probebly not infected.
But you can have a look around in youre Windows system directory for a zip file thats not supposed to be there.
