I used to use AVG free and found that it dose not offer any real solution to fixing your problems , your best bet is to try and heal these trojans , but do not deleat them right away for you could cause your pc to crash , what you need to do is post in hjt forum for maleware for they are the pros at working out those types of bugs hope you get them fixed Mike
Hi jordan23,

Mikeislearnin gives a good recommendation when he suggests that you post to the Malware Removal Forum for Expert assistance with a Trojan problem.

AntiVirus utilities often stumble when they detect a Trojan spyware infection, and cannot fix/heal the trojan because they are set up to specifically deal with "viruses".
It's not just AVG, but also TrendMicro, McAfee, Norton, NOD32, etc. etc.

That's why we also need AntiSpyware Utilities, including the one published by AVG, but also the two most common and reliable ones, Spybot Search and Destroy version 1.4, and Ad-Aware 2007 and other more complex tools used by the Experts in our Malware Removal Forum.

You can download, install, update, and Run Spybot Search & Destroy now

(it is safe and useful for you to allow Spybot to remove/fix anything it identifies in it's scan printed in Red)

(they ask for a donation, but the Spybot utility is free to download and use)
