How do you get rid of a trojan horse Downloader.Generic7.AGNL virus?

Question

I have AVG virus protection and all it is doing is giving me a bunch of pop-ups telling me the virus is there. I have also noticed a antiviruspro2008 program that is on my desktop that I have not put there, it also is popping up junk too, keeps asking me to upgrade for 34.95, I'm no moron I am not gonna give them any info. So whats the best way to wipe it off?
