Decompression bomb — an attack that targets antivirus software during malware analysis. The attack occurs when antivirus decompresses or unpacks a decompression bomb and attempts to run it in a virtual machine. Decompression bomb may crash the antivirus and/or subject the system to a denial of service attack by heavily loading the CPU.

boot into safe mode, and run your av again. if it still cannot remove it, youll have to do it manually.

You could also try scanning with other virus scanners, such as Trend Micro's online scan or using... oh what was it called... clam somthing or other... it can be run off a USB drive. I believe it's an open source scanner too.
