i think the only way to remove some trojans is to turn off System Restore then run the virus checker. some trojans disguise themselves as important system files so AVG can't delete them
i had the same problem once and it got rid of it
hope that helps

Also, you may have to go into Safe Mode before trying to delete some virus-infected files.

And you need a good anti-v program. Try Google & type in "remove porn dialer" (I assume that's what you have)
