Did you start up in "Safe Mode With Networking" and run your scans?
Did you try restoring to a previous date (for realz, but often doesn't work with trojans)?

AVG has been known to give false positives.
If you are indeed infected, read
this
Also, you would be wise to make regular system backups to separate, removable media like an external hard drive.

Shit, what I should do is back up my photos before doing anything.
Then I'll try system restore and the safe mode thing.
Thanks.
Invest in an external HD and store your photos/docs/music on there so you don't run into this problem again.

jsc, if I were you I'd think about getting an external hard drive to back stuff up.

You make me chuckle from time to time but I think my post was legit.
If he already had one why would he be scared to go to safe mode this time around? Isn't the idea behind having an external drive to keep from storing pics and media etc.. on the main HD in the first place?
