Just open the search windows on your computer and after that make search for the Win32-Dropper and after delete everything relegated to the Win32-Dropper file. Now once you finish the deleting and after that make use of the some of the registry cleaner and install it on your system.

So I'd suggest you update you AVG antivirus on your system and after doing exploration. If you are facing the same problem after updating the antivirus and then I think that AVG is not able to remove the virus and therefore I would like to suggest that the other antivirus in your system and after doing exploration. First go to the official website of the AVG and after that updated the AVG antivirus. Once you finish the updating and after that make scan on your system.

According to me your AVG antivirus has been corrupted on your system and so therefore I think you need to uninstall the AVG antivirus and after that install it again. But before installing the AVG antivirus you need to uninstall the AVG first. Go to the start icon on the desktop and after that click on the control panel. now on the control panel go to the add/remove program and under that select the AVG and after that remove the AVG. now once you remove the AVG and after that install the AVG antivirus again.

First you need to have installation CD of your operating system to repair your system. Insert the CD on your system and after that restart your system and after that follow the steps given under that.
