AVG gives constant virus alert

I recently began using AVG's free virus scanner, and every few minutes, it gives a pair of virus alerts - one is always in "local service/local settings/Temporary Internet Files" - an html file, and the other is always in "windows/temp" - an executable. Each time I choose to 'heal' the file, then manually remove it from the quarantine section. Then, after a few minutes, the same thing happens. It always lists the virus as "Trojan horse Agent.NJG, and both the .exe and the .htm files are always exactly 296 KB.

Is this really a virus problem, and if so, why isn't AVG permanently stopping the problem? How can I fix this? Any additional information required for diagnosis can be given.

Thanks in advance.

After some additional research, it seems I have been infected by the malware SmitFraud. I tried using the removal tool SmitFraudFix v2.275, but it did not make a difference. I would really appreciate some help on this.
