    Ok, AVG must have some major glitch if you set it to autoscan because its saying the same thing again......

    That'll be AVG using 'heuristic detection' (security industry term for guesswork) and flagging a Windows executable just because it's small. Get rid of AVG and relax

    I don't think it's that because when you do a manual scan, it says all is fine, it only seems to "detect" the virus when it autoscans/scheduled scan.

    It seems the OP has gone back to Windows, so all of this is moot. See this.
