Go make a sandwich and eat it, find other work to do, or watch a movie. These things take time and you'll be tempted to rush or skip things. Speaking of time, while your scans are running, walk away. Different AVs from different companies find some infections better than others, so running more than one is just a more complete way of doing it. Only your time will suffer for being so thorough. If you're truly paranoid - and at this point, who could blame you? - and want to clean this thing to a fare-thee-well, maybe even run a third CD from yet a another company.

Once you're done with the first and it's found & eliminated everything it can, feel free to run a second LIVE CD from a different company the same way. If you're smart, you will have downloaded and burned more than one distro from more than one company. Do a full, deep scan, including for rootkits, and let it kill anything and everything it finds. Regardless, grab one or more of these live CDs, burn them to CD/DVD (depending on their size), or use Rufus/Yumi to burn them to a thumb drive, reboot the computer and force it to boot from your newly created media instead of the onboard hard drive. Since you're familiar with AVG, and I, myself, have had good results recently, I'd suggest trying out the AVG Live CD, first. Time to grab your favorite flavor of AV on a live CD and boot from it to do your scanning and infection elimination. If you can't kill it in-system, you'll have to attack it while it's dormant. Even in Safe Mode you may not be able to nail it down. This sounds like one of those infections that actively stealths itself against discovery by AV on the running system. It's clear that AVG is finding an issue, and it isn't a false positive, but it doesn't attempt to remove the program, and no others seem to find any issue at all. Short of reloading this thing, which is my next option, are there any other programs anyone can recommend I try? To find out if something is running on start, while also checking startup items in taskmanager, and I've disabled any services I found that weren't necessary to boot or run antivirus. I've checked the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run I've run through several programs, all updated to the latest, including malwarebytes, tdskiller, ESET's online scanner, deep scans on several others, but they all come back clean, or what they find isn't the cause of the offending program. AVG blocks the connection to the site, resulting in a pop up stating the threat has been blocked (connection aborted) and points to svchost.exe as the program responsible for attempting the connection. A user downloaded this virus, that appears to be attempting to redirect traffic to roughly every 5 minutes. I wanted to start this thread both for the sake of record keeping and as a request for help as well.
