Bloody viruses

[Sean]

I think my computer is infested with viruses, I have AVG, all the time I get msg on screen saying "Trojan horse downloader virus detected, run AVG to remove" When I run AVG no virus detected even if I have just upgraded, It has removed several viruses but not after these msg's. Should I uninstall the AVG and reinstall it or get a specialist around to help???? I'm reasonably computer illiterate so don't get too technical, but any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hi Sean

Those links Bungie posted are pretty good or try spybot search and destroy.
