Well, it took me 3 days to setup most (not all) I need, but now I'm running
quite a capable machine compared to my older XP computer that got infected.
However, I'm rather sure I'll miss it, as it gave me no problems and no
formatting for 8 years! (I only had to buy Windows licences 3 times, due to
the many hardware updates).

Sorry to hear of your problems, Dario.
MalwareBytes is the usual tool for removing this stuff (called MBAM
for short). Sometimes a virus is clever enough to keep it from being
downloaded/installed/updated. Personally, I think MBAM is one program
that is worth paying for to turn on the Real Time Protection (rather
than running it periodically to catch things after the fact).
Britec has a lot of videos on Malware removal and a forum here:
http://www.briteccomputers.co.uk/forum/virustrojanspywaremalware/
which includes info on MalwareBytes.
I'd also highly recommend you install the (free) Microsoft Security
Essentials (XP or 7).
I'd also consider switching Anti-Virus from AVG (since it didn't
prevent you from getting the trojan in the first place). I use another
free one, Avira and have no complaints.
You will like Windows 7, if you upgrade. Besides looking the nicest of
any non-Mac OS out there you will be able to surpass the 4GB RAM
limitation of XP which is especially nice for photo/video editing.
