Probably some sort of stubborn downloader/dialer.  Update AVG and scan with it (preferrably in Safe Mode).  Then download HijackThis, scan with it, and post the log here.  Be sure to post the entire log, even if it takes a couple of posts.
just a question...how,if there was a virus,would he get rid of it? what would it involve?
That's what I'll tell you when I have the proper information.  Just follow all of my instructions (starting with a scan and a HijackThis log) and I'll do my best to guide you.  With any luck, it won't be too bad of an infection.
