Brian,
AVG cleared all the files except 3.
I get a message that "Bigger than archive size limit" for those 3.
How does one change the archive file limit?

Wait - it found a Trojan in the Zone Alarm setup files? That to me sounds
like a false positive - mostly likely those files contain a heuristic
pattern to help ZA discover Trojans and AVG is picking that up as an actual
Trojan.
That's been known to happen. But hey, it could also be some really clever
Trojan writer who decided to hide their malware among known false positives.
Try running Windows Defender and see what that gives you. Also, you might
want to boot from one of the various Linux Live CDs and run a scan of your
system as well. If you have a root kit infection that might be the only way
to detect it.

Brian,
I have been running an AVG scan and it has found several places for the
"Trojan Horse Agent_r.CX" in Zone Alarm setup files on my desktop.
Zls setup_70_484_000
70_337_000
70_483_000
70_462_000
If I put those files in recycle bin and empty it will that get rid of them?

Could be a few different things going on. Might have been a false

and you might have killed something necessary for your internet connection
to work. But it might have also been a real trojan. Sometimes they
insert
themselves pretty deeply in system processes and removing them breaks the
links that allows things like the network stack to work.
Try rebooting, see if that helps. Also try safe mode. But don't get your
hopes up.

This am when I started up a message came on the screen from AVG.
"AVG finds you have a trojan. Do you want to remove it forcefully?"
I clicked yes and the message reappeared.
I could not get rid of it.
I restarted the computer and the message was gone.
Now when I start Firefox I get a message it is taking to long no matter
what URL I try to get.
Is that the trojan working?
What should I do now?
