Just to be sure some malware is not hiding, you might try a scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware.
Download to your desktop
Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware from
Here or
Here
Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
Extra Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove,you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts,click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process,if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.
If you are having a problem with slowness, you may want to consider one of the other free anti-virus programs rather than AVG 8. There is a list at the top of the Virus & Spyware Board in the "Free Ssecurity Software" announcement.
If you are using Vista settings instead of Classic settings, try changing it back to Classic.
