Potentially harmfull programs

Hi guys,
I notice that my PC was running a little slower than normal so I decided to do a full system restore.
I have since put my all my bits n bobs back on - AVG & Superantispyware. The only difference is the AVG is the newer version & not 7.5 as I previously had.
The only problem I had whilst re-installing anything was when I tried to put Itunes back onto my PC - it froze near the end of the install & I had to turn my PC off from the main.
The AVG has just completed it's 1st full scan & picked up 2 program diallers:
btwebcontrol.dll
system volume information\_ restore\a0002003dll
I don't know anything about these but AVG has moved them to the virus vault. Can anywone tell me what these are & how I would get them.
Also, the older version of AVG never picked anything like this up previously - why now. Have I picked these up whilst being online getting my AVG & Spyware?
Thanks

btweb control is spyware picked up off the internet
If you install SPYBOT it should stop the vast majority of those
The system restore is the btweb backup:idea:0
