I think I have a virus :(

Ok, I'm bummed, I keep getting this pop up message from my AVG....

Looked it up and it's a marketing/shopping site. So I scanned with AVG and it found the usual tracking cookies and 2 trojans from a torrent download of a zz top album

AVG said it took care of the problems but I'm still getting the pop up from AVG! How can I get rid of it. I'm running Win7 RC1

Install, update (seems like it hangs at 30% but it doesn't), perform a manual scan.

If it's malware, malwarebytes or superantispyware might be more appropriate.

Thanks for the info! Already tried malwarebytes and it didn't find anything doing a full scan
