Thanks for the feedback, how's the computer running. I notice you should have a Java update available, then you should be good to go.

If your version of Spybot is up to date, you can ignore that item. View this tutorial:
http://www.russelltexas.com/malware/spybot13/spybot13.htm
If it continues to be located once you are sure you are totally updated, view these instructions:
exclude this detection from future scans.
Here is some good information for you:

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

AVG Anti-Spyware is a good program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.
Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
