My youngest managed to infect her Sony vaio desktop. AVG keeps popping up saying there is this Trojan or that Trojan. Websites keep opening by themselves. AVG doesn't seem able to remove the infected files so I think I will have to splash out on some other software.

Anyhoo, which is best for the aforementioned problem, Norton, mcaffee or Kasperskey? BTW the desktop is running windows 7 ultimate.

Oh yeah, don't be put off by the Greek gentleman in his 'altogether'
 
None of them are the best as it depends on when they update their signature databases to deal with various threats.
Avira is cited as is Microsoft security essentials but you need something else to pick up on malware rather than viruses
so malwarebytes should also be considered. That said you may still be stuck.
Best to boot into safe mode at boot so that whatever virus/malware is installed isn't running andneither is any service that
may attempt to reinstall should you remove it.
