Go through these general malware removal steps systematically -
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/...moving_Malware

Include scanning with David Lipman's Multi_AV and follow instructions to do
all scans in Safe Mode. Please see the special Notes regarding using
Multi_AV in Vista.

http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Multi-AV - instructions
http://tinyurl.com/yoeru3 - download link and more instructions

When all else fails, get guided help. Choose one of the specialty forums
listed at the first link. Register and read its posting FAQ. PLEASE DO NOT
POST LOGS IN THE MS NEWSGROUPS.

If you can't do the work yourself (and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea), take the machine to a professional computer repair
shop (not your local equivalent of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad). Please be
aware that not all local shops are skilled at removing malware and even if
they are, your computer may be so infested that Windows will need to be
clean-installed. If possible, have all your data backed up before you take
the machine into a shop.

I beg your pardon? Your computer is infected. You need to clean it up. I
gave you links to instructions as how to do this. My own website has no
ads; the link I gave you leads to only a rather lengthy set of instructions
on how to remove malware. The specialty forums where you can get guided
help may have ads but the helpers are volunteers and the help is free.

If you really think that my reply was spam, that lack of judgment may
explain why your computer is infected. I'm hesitant to give you any more
links to sites that will show you how to stay safe on the Internet since
you may think *that* is spam.

Probably the best solution for you is to take your machine to a competent
local computer professional. This will not be a BigComputerStore/GeekSquad.
This will not be free. Or you can back up your data and do a clean install
of Windows. That will be free.

As for me, I'm done with this thread. I'm sure you can get help from someone
else with whom you will feel more comfortable.

You are clearly an idiot.

What does AVG call it?

I saw that, that is a filename (which is generally useless from an
investigation standpoint. AVG must have detected it as malware and
stated what malware it thought it might be. Something like
"Trojan.Zapchast.b" or "Backdoor.Sysad". Also, where it was found can be
important too. Check your AVG log to see if that information was
retained.
