I want to banish trojan horses SHeur.CCXR, JS/Downloader.Agent, and Adload_r.AQ

Hi Gang: For years, I barely knew what malware was. In the last few days, I founf out . Ironically, I just got a new Dell PC that is still sitting in the box. I want to give this old computer to some charity, but first I want to get rid of this problem with trojan horses.

The problems started 2-3 days when my PC got infected with SHeur.CCXR, which spewed out unwanted program after pregram. Then came JS/downloader.agent and downloader.agent.AJH

I finally got rid of these mean horses with the free version of AVG. My PC seems to be running ok now, but with my lastest AVG scans, I am still stuck with trojan horse Adload_r.AQ. I quarantine and soon delete it. In the next scan, the horse keeps returning. How dost thou get rid of this? Your help is greatly appreciated.

well, since you plan to donate this old computer, I suggest that you reboot it. plus it will erase your private information that maybe fall into wrong hand when u donate this computer
