I don't know anything about that particular 'baddie' (assuming it is one!), but you could try some online scans, including this one; http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner

If it does find anything it won't necessarily use the same description for what it finds because anti malware companies often use different naming conventions.

I suspect that it is a false positive. AVG is not as highly recommended as Avast or Antivira

Download, setup, update, and run SUPERAntiSpyware from this site

http://www.superantispyware.com/down...NTISPYWAREFREE

It is well recommended by many users.

Download, setup, update, and run Malwarebytes' from this site

http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes...=dl&tag=button

It is well recommended.

Use both of them weekly to scan for infections on your computer.
