Happy Christmas. lol
[other than the Windows firewall that is]
And are the viruses being removed by AVG now?
If not, I would do a HijackThis scan and post the log on one of the many online forums that deal with them.

is it spelt correctly?
'Before deciding whether your computer needs cleaning or reformatting, I need to ask you some questions.
Do you use your computer for any of the following. Online banking/Business purposes/storing sensitive or very personal information?
If the answer to any of those questions is yes, then you should immediately disconnect your computer from the net and do a complete format and reinstall.
This is because you computer is infected with backdoor trojans. These will have sent your info to a third party who may use that info for their own purposes. If you use online banking, then your should contact your bank and arrange to have your password changed immediately. You should also, change any other passwords you use as these may have also been compromised.
Even if we cleaned the infections, it wouldn`t help to recover the info that may have been gleaned from your system.
If you only use your computer for music/games etc, then cleaning it of infections, is possibly a better option to a reformat.'
