Download HijackThis and scan with it. Save the scan log and post it here. The scan log will be very helpful to determine if your laptop has taken a malware hit.

If you installed AVG AntiSpyware then its not enough to protect your comp. Even if you installed AVG Antivirus, my opinion is its not enough to protect your comp because you will atleast need a personal firewall to go with it. You will get a lot of opinions about antivirus software here!

The message about the missing antivirus file could be anything from AVG Antivirus's file getting deleted to something like Antivirus2009's file being deleted by AVG. (antivirus2009 is malware pretending to be an antivirus).

Anyway a HijackThis log will be very helpful.
