Registry Defender? Trojan Horses?

I'm hoping you can help but I will tell you upfront I'm pretty inept at this stuff! I started having problems about a month ago. I was using the free 2009 version of AVG and updated (purchased) AVG 2011 when I started having problems. I also purchased PC Fix 2010 around the same time. Each time I turn my computer on, PC Fix scans and reports anywhere from 30-60 empty registry keys and claims to repair them. The Virus Vault of AVG is loaded with Trojan Horses, corrupted Registry Revivor exe files and SVCHOST files???

The problem I am experiencing is mainly with Explorer. It tries to open new tabs that usually take me to a freakin' free walmart gift card or to registry revivor page or even a "work at home" page! The back button seldom works, it's excruciatingly slow and 9 times out of ten, I have to "end process" to shut it down. Almost every time I open it, it asks if I want to restore last session or go to home page. I have AVG logs if you would like them too.

I don't know if this computer can be salvaged or not but thought I would at least try by asking for your help. Any help you can provide is TRULY appreciated! Thank you.
