Default Admin edit: user error, false-positive confirmed - no virus

When I downloaded AVG Anti-Virus 7.5.487 and installed it on my laptop, it came up and said it found several viruses, and proceeded to delete a whole bunch of important Windows XP files, so my laptop wouldn't even boot up. Now I got it running in safe mode and deleted the virus-ridden program, and see that the virus also changed my account from an administrator to a regular user, and created a new administrator account, which of course I cannot log into. I know I didn't have any viruses before I installed this because I had AVG 8. I had just removed it because I wanted to downgrade to AVG 7.

This file needs to be removed immediately.
