You know what people are going to say!Virus/Trojan if your problem lines up with expired anti-virus software. Do forgive me, but AVG is lightweight compared with, say Kaspersky or Mcafee.
In making these remarks, I assume the following:
Trojans reset registry settings, sometimes alter code or corrupt memory. If you haven't got rid of the trojan, the problem gets worse. You can temporarily get things working sometimes, bbut the registry settings will eventually be changed again.
You could head over to the Virus/Spyware forum and take things from there to be sure that you have a trojan (or otherwise).
