Keep getting "JS:Agent-EDB [Trj]" pop up

User-added image

I keep getting this window message from AVG app saying "Threat secured. We've safely aborted connection on none-stops.com because it was infected with JS:Agent-EDB [Trj] "

I scanned pc, and no other threats appeared.

(and as I was creating this post, 2 more windows appeared with same message)

Is there a solution to stop getting this message/threat?

I also keep getting this notification, except it's launching from my browsers and has a slightly different url. I keep getting 3 of them because I have 3 browsers open. This started happening yesterday, Jan 8.

Hi.

I'm having the same issue. But the problem seems to be comming from Firefox, and a site that I am not actively visiting, nor do I know what the site is. (And I don't want to go there to find out.)

I get this pop up about every 5 minutes. I've attached a screenshot. Please send me a solution if there is one. Thank you. :)User-added image

Hi I would also like to say i have the exact same virus 

 

js agent edb trj

 

I keep on having the pop ups all the time. AVG seems to block half but i am still getting some random pages pop up to ad servers. on average about every 5 minutes i will get an avg pop up or sent to another website. 
 

I scanned the PC but it doesnt find anything to delete and the virus hasnt been removed. 

Was hoping to post here aswell so that AVG might be able automate removal of the virus after a future update next time it scans.
