Trojan
My dad has one in his laptop and I've been trying all day with AVG to remove it but no luck.
What other software can I try?

Nod32 is the best, but if you already have a trojan it may prevent you from using any av... if you know the name of the virus, go in safe mode with networking & google it and you should be able to remove it pretty easilly

i'm sick of this now, nothing can remove it!
problem is its killing the software, for example when you switch your laptop on firefox, yahoo messenger etc all stop working, then I have to reinstall then they last for a few hours and die again then I have to reinstall again!

Mieran best way to remove it:
Boot up your PC in Safe Mode.
When you pc goes past the Bios screen hit F8
I know this says Vista but it's the same for Windows 7/XP etc:
Booting the PC in safe mode will hopefully stop the trojan from loading when your PC boots up.
Open up your Anti Virus software (AVG has a safe mode scanner) most Anti Virus programs allow you to scan in Safe mode, some make exceptions.
Pray it works delete the offending item and restart PC.

you will only be able to have one anti-virus program but anti spyware programs seem to be happy to be installed together,

if you know what your doing install hijackthis. it displays a whole load of stuff on your computer, startup programs, key changes, internet redirect pages the whole shibang! you then tick what you dont want and it wipes it out. just make sure you dont tick any system files etc basically go through the list anything your not sure of type in google and if legit leave if not fook it off... good luck! a combo of this and malwarebytes always works for me. if any of your AV wont run locate the program in its root directory and rename the file extension to .bat as sometimes the virus disables known programs but renaming seems to confuse it.
