AVG & Spyware Doctor: Kees detecting the same viruses?

I bought both AVG anti-virus and Spyware Doctor because my laptop recently got infected. Well everytime I start up my computer, my spyware and antivirus programs always detects new threats and dozens of infections.

I thought, the purpose of these programs was to eliminate viruses and spyware so that they wouldn't reoccur and that one day it wouldn't detect anything. Then your computer is safe and free of bad things.

However, everyday I get new viruses and new spyware upon startup. Also, some of the threats and viruses are reoccuring. Does this mean that my program is detecting them, but not getting rid of them?

The two main ones that keep coming up are

Trojan Hijacker

( I used this to remove spyware and Trojans from a laptop that adaware would only detect but not get rid of ) It detected and removed everything :-)

Download and Run Advanced Windows Personal Care,
