Deleting Collected.5.L trojan

AVG Free has found a trojan named "collected.5.L" in my home computer.
Has anyone dealt with this and how do I get rid of it? I am running AVG Free, Spybot S & D and Adaware SE all with the latest updates. I start the computer up and after a few minutes AVG finds it. Sometimes it lets me heal it or quarantine it, other times it won't. When I shut down then restart it is back. It looks like it is in Directx. I have shut off System Restore and run all scans in safe mode. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Searching the major antivirus websites and Google doesn't give me any returns at all.

I uninstalled AVG and installed Avast 4 trial. It found the following: Win32-Trojan.gen in the same location. I moved it to its quarantine file and will have to see how this one works.
