I opened a file that as sent to me yesterday in the form of a link to a picture. Not 5 mins after that, AVG Free Edition popped up with a file infected with a trojan horse. I've run AVG, McAffee, and Ad-Aware, and all 3 programs have found and quarantined the file, but I am unable to remove it. I've been getting random popups, from Anti-Virus programs and sites and have had stuff start to download to my computer. In addition it has been running really slowly. I would appreciate any and all help that you may be able to give me. Thanks.
