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
