I don't like AVG either. A few years ago there was an infection on this computer that caused some pop ups and other "minor" problems. AVG never found what it was. I installed Kaspersky trial and it was gone immediatly. Then I switched to AVS(Aol sponsoring Kaspersky) and it was amazing. After the license was over I went back to AVG on my father's computer, but in the meantime, I was trying Avira and Avast on mine.
Back to the situation now. I finally managed to update AVG and restarted scanning, I went to scan directly into the windows folder as it was the one that was affected and surprise(not really) I found some different virus:
Trojan horse downloader.Small.DGT
Trojan horse SHeur.CDSC
Trojan horse Agent.AADO
The scan is not over, but I am at 56 after 30minutes and not a trace of the trojan r.g yet.
Edit: I noticed that as soon as I touch the keyboard the computer freezes
Edit 2: I don't know if that means anything to anyone, but when I go into graphic properties(where we can change the background), I only have 3 tabs parameters, appearance and theme. It wasn't like that before.
Edit 3: after I last touched the keyboard, I had to restart... Once that is done, I get just past the starting windows screen and then the screen stays blue, nothing more happens, I can move the mouse, but can't press any keys on the keyboard. In safe mode, the screen is black but the problem is the same(including the freeze as soon as a key is pressed).
