Viruses. Super long [sorry].
I keep getting this popup [at least three times today] that tells me there's a "Threat Detected". Then it tells me the name of the virus [ JS / Psyme ] and it won't let me "heal" it. The only other option is to send it to the "Virus Vault" or whatever so I keep doing that, but i'm sure that isn't helping me get rid of the virus.
I use 'AVG Free Edition - Test Center'. It automatically updates itself so I basically forget I have it. I don't think there's any other virus type things on this computer, but it's a laptop if that makes any difference & i've only had it for about 7-8 months. The only sites I really go on are google, youtube, advicenators, addictinggames, and buddy4u.
Today I went on one of the Lyric sites though because my normal lyric site didn't have the band I was looking for, & this is when the virus hints started. Maybe it was that? Not sure. I can't tell my dad about this either though because I got two serious viruses on my last laptop where they had to do complete system recovery's. :\
Sorry for the length, and thanks if you can help.

Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
Uninstall AVG, which is a horrible antivirus. Then install avast:

On installation _make sure "schedule a boot-time scan" is selected_. Restart your computer, and avast will scan your computer in a way the virus can't prevent. When it asks you, tell it you want to delete the virus.
After you've done this, you can uninstall avast if you want, though you should install something else if you do. Take a look at my comparison of free antivirus applications:

If you don't uninstall it, you need to register it:
