Virus detected
First thing's first: whipe all you cookies, temporary internet files, and history in your internet options.
Are you getting this malware with a full-system can with your AVG, or are you just letting it catch them automatically with pop-up windows. Because the auto-protect will only get these viruses as they attack, it won't catch the ones not doing anything which can later replicate themselves; or in the case of your trojan, import more malware.
Do a full-system scan, preferrably in safemode (restart your computer and hit F8 continuously until a screen comes up with the safemode option).
Go to TrendSecure | HouseCallā?¢ Free Scan and use their free online scan. TrendMicro is undoubtedly the best anti-malware company going and their program "PC Cillin" is unmatched. If you're going to invest in anything, make that the one.
I also recommend you download a free anti-malware program called "A-Squared". It's excellent and doesn't have an auto-protect feature, so it won't conflict or take up resources; just a scan-only.
Spybot is good for catching the odd thing that others miss, it doesn't hurt to have it, but keep the tea-timer off as it really isn't worth the resource gobbling. Overal, don't depend on it for squat.
Macafee is a lousy program frankly. I know it'll catch a lot of generic crap (ie spyware cookies) which impresses people, but it won't get anything with a little programming ingenuity.
Norton antivirus.... SUCKS. Well, it's decent at getting trojans (only decent), but that's it. It's scanning method is pretty primitive.
And remember above all: Anybody who says "This is the only program you'll ever need" doesn't know what they're talking about. No one program gets everything, and having only one program will give you insufficient protection.
