Help!!! Trojan attack

Hi

I left my laptop on sleep yesterday and on turning it on i found a message saying there was a password-stealing trojan that had infected it.
On trying to open avg it said it could not open it as it was infected- it is refusing to open everything and just comes up with this message. When trying to go onlne it says this website is potentially dangerous and goes to an antivirus site https://www.antivircat.com/shop and scans then trys to make me buy one of the packages.
I have logged on in safe mode and run avg which found nothing then i tried the portable superspyscanner thing and that found cookies and something about a switched off security centre. It did it's thing then on restarting in normal mode it still is infected.
I'm sorry i'm not very technical so don't have much proper info for you.
I'm not sure what to try next.
Any help would be gratefully received

    Download malwarebyted: Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.46 - FileHippo.com
    Install, UPDATE tab, CLICK FOR UPDATES, then run a quick scan for now. Post log produced here.

    Then run Download HijackThis 2.0.2 - FileHippo.com
    Install, DO A SYSTEM SCAN AND SAVE LOG. Post log here.

    Also remove the link above please if it is an infected site.

    After all this is done and your computer is clean from infections, we will change your antivirus to something better than AVG (but free) but please don't do that now.
  • Do i need to put it on a usb and do it in safe mode?
    Not sure what to do now as i only have the one stick and i'm scared it's infected too now?

  • Can you access the link on the infected computer?
    I think start in safe mode with networking and download malwarebytes.

    turn off the proxy in internet explorer, tools, internet options connections, lan settings before trying safe mode with networking

  • I guess rerun the scan and when it refinds these, I can't remember what the option will say but get malwarebytes to remove these bad things. I should have said to remove what it finds - sorry!
  • sorry closed too late for proxy settings i've already done it.
    I cannot download hijack this- it says system admin blocked

  • Please rerun malwarebytes first.
  • It removed the bits and then it restarted. i've logged on in safe mode again. i cannot get hijack to work. Should i be clicking on executables and not installer.
