I have caught a virus on my PC. I have a Gateway laptop that is running Windows 7. I am going out of town and I need my laptop to do things for school while I am gone.

A error message continues to pop up. This error message pops up every 3 seconds.

The error message states "Application cannot be executed. The file skypenames2.exe is infected. Do you want to activate your antivirus software now?". If you click on either "yes" or "no" it continues to show up. It does not let me access the internet from my web browser, Internet Explorer, at all.
All of this is only happening on my Administrater account. My Guest and other Standard accounts allow me to access Internet Explorer.

The file name on this example "skypenames2.exe" is always changing. It is never the same file name.

I am running the free version of AVG. It does not open on my Administrater account. I open it on other accounts and it does not detect any viruses.

Thank you,
cjv
