Hi Gavyd,
Firstly, I'd like to welcome to CompuForums - it's good to have you here. I hope you will be on the board for a long time, and if there is anything I can do to make your experience better please let me know. We are here to help you, so it would be appreciated if you could help us by posting in threads as well as your own. By doing so, you are helping to keep this site running in the future, and we will respond to your thread faster too. If you can't help us, then we can't help you.
You might want to ditch AVG for Avast, and when asked, run a boottime scan. AVG dosen't tend to be as good as picking up and removing trojans as Avast is. You can find it for free by googling for Avast Home Edition download.

I would listen to Ash on this one, partly because Avast does a really good job on removing viruses
