I was running my AVG Anti-Virus scan & it detected the spyware Trojan horse Agent2.AJBR
So my question is how do I remove it from my laptop?
Help please. Thanks in advance.

shouldn’t of there been an option in AVG saying "Remove all Unhealed infections."
usually with one virus comes many others- sometimes not even the best virus scanners can completely remove a virus once it is in your PC.
If you notice anything wrong or weird with your PC then read the following:
The best ways to deal with a virus is either a System Recovery, or install windows again. No anti-virus will completely remove a virus once it’s in your computer
System Recovery- when you turn on your computer there will be a screen saying something like:
F1=Setup
F2=Boot Menu
F10= System Recovery
Press and hold the system recovery button (it may be different for your computer)
and follow the simple steps. This will 100% remove the viruses but also any saved files, pictures, videos, documents etc. So back up the important ones or any you want to keep (use a USB key or an external hard drive)
Re- installing Windows:
This only works if u have a windows installation disk
Turn on the computer, insert the disk, then shut off the computer
Turn it on again there will be a screen saying "press any key to boot from CD/DVD" press any key you want to
It will bring you to windows setup and its best to install a clean copy of windows not a repair
follow the steps after
don’t forget to format the hard drive to remove every file and virus
If you can still access the internet try free trials of the following:

Also, if you have a Fake AntiVirus Program, it may be very difficult to remove without remotely scanning the hard drive or using a live-cd. With caution though, you could use ComboFix at:

think when your antivirus scans your computer and detects something like that it usually either automatically deletes it, or quarantines it.
if you are not sure if it got automatically deleted, go to the quarantined section of your antivirus program, and see if its in quarantine (which keeps the spyware in there disabled from staying active in your computer)
if it is there, you can delete it in there
If the only place the infection has been found is in System Restore here is the solution.
Go to Start – right click on My Computer > Properties. Open the System Restore Tab. Tick ‘Turn Off System Restore on all Drives’ – click apply, ok. Reboot your computer – do the same again but this time Untick ‘Turn Off System Restore’. All contaminated files associated with System Restore will be deleted. New clean ones will be created.
malwarebytes has a fantastic, free download that removes malware such as that http://malware-virus-spyware-remover-tools.blogspot.com/
if your computer is now infected with viruses and/or spyware.
You should use an antivirus program and antispyware software.
