Trojan/Virus

xzibit

I had a pop-up come up and download something, and then AVG came up with a message saying that it had caught a virus. Anyway, clicked heal, and it healed 2 things but on one it said error on one of them.
They went to the virus vault, there was a virus, and 2 trojan horses. The virus was called slide something and the trojans were something like download.agent.13.Al or something.

Anyway, cleared the virus vault, and have ran AVG again, along with windows defender and adaware, and nothing comes up, so I presume that they have gone?!?! And that they are not still hidden?!?!?

I have AVG anti-virus, AdAware, SpywareBlaster, Windows Defender, and ZoneAlarm firewall on the laptop, so should have been ok?!

As an added precaution look at this link and run at least two online anti virus scanner.
