Like the topic title says, recently been getting .exe files in my C:\Users\Public folders, they are named after other files in the folders. AVG keeps detecting them every 10-15 mins even after I select the option to remove all unhealed infections. The infection shows up as Trojan horse Dropper.small.PZB. How do I remove the source of this problem as I can only delete the .exe that keeps reappearing.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I'm running AVG Free and my OS is WIndows 7 64 bit.
