Trojan Horse Virus

[Guest]

I'm getting a virus notification as follows: Trojan horse Downloader.Winshow.L

I am instructed to run my virus removal software (AVG) to remove. The AVG virus scan shows no viruses on my computer. Any help as to what I might try next? Is this a serious virus?

Thanks.

I have used Spybot in the past, quite scary sometimes when you run it and
find all that stuff you installed on Your PC.

Never heard of a "non-serious" virus!
