Q. I am using AVG (free & updated) and whenever I take my flash drive on to another computer, virus is detected by Avast/Kaspersky. My PC is not infested with virus and I m pretty much sure about it. If it had been infected then I would definitely have experienced PC lag/slow net speed or unnecessary CPU usage. Now the question arises how the fck do i determine that my PC is clean or is it just some kind of rivalry going on between antivirus softwares?
A. Everyone @@@@PLEASE READ THE QUESTION@@@@
Having more than 1 antivirus installed can and will cause conflicts and cause them to be less effective at detecting Malware
Avast/Kaspersky<--------choose one or the other, but 2 will not work. And use their uninstaller tool

If you need a second opinion, my suggestion is
Malwarebytes' Antimalware(FREE)
"Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is not meant to be a replacement for antivirus software. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a complementary but essential program which detects and removes zero-day malware and âMalware in the Wildâ. This includes malicious programs and files, such as viruses, worms, trojans, rootkits, dialers, spyware, and rogue applications that many antivirus programs do not detect or cannot fully remove. It is important to note that Malwarebytes Anti-Malware works well and should run alongside antivirus software without conflicts

A. TrojanDownloader:Win32/Adload.DA is a trojan that silently downloads and installs other programs without consent. This could include the installation of additional malware or malware components to an affected computer.

First step: As long as your windows are updated and windows is telling you(Probably windows defender) run a full scan with it.
Second step: Use the MRT tool
Click the "Start" button>>Type in search box "mrt" (without the quotes)>> Hit "enter" and choose "full scan">>Go do something else, scan will take awhile to complete
Third step: Use alternative scanners such as:

Is there a specific order in which i should learn things involving computers?
Q. I have been working with computers for a while now. But i noticed im not even that good. Whenever i have a problem, i always google search it.. && im clueless most of the time. So i want to learn everything on my own. Im not a n00b, im just not very good either. ukno? But, I want to learn everything from how networks work, to programming, to cryptography. Im just unsure in which order i should learn these things (and other things). Can someone give me some advice?
A. Well you're saying you want to know computer and networks. so that means you're not after other computer skills like designing or programming (maybe in the future).
anyway. First of all, someone who has the most computer knowledge about hardware and networks is a Network administrator. Okay of course there are more specific jobs but this covers the most of it.
If you want start learning about computers, you should start with basics. learn what a computer need to just simply run windows. Try building your own computer with old hardware and install windows. You should be able to dream this process. Then try to go deeper into stuff. Try figuring out what holds the computer together and why it is working like the way it is. This is the beginning. after you've done that you can start to learn more complicated stuff. As long as it fits with the knowledge you already have.
You should read stuff about the basics about Networks. They will explain stuff of which things it exists (hardware and software). It will also pretty much cover general computer stuff. After a while you'll notice it's much easier to pick up new things.
Also if you really want to understand computers you'll should follow a programming course (c-based programming). Then you'll understand how a computer thinks and why it runs specific tasks. The problem is, it's kinda hard xD totally different if you're familiar with building websites with html.
anyway good luck!
Edit:
It isn't wrong to google stuff. An internal helpdesk at a company uses google like 80% to solve problems. You don't need deep computer knowledge to work at a helpdesk. It's just a way of working.
