Change ALL your passwords on everything then scan your machines using malwarebytes while in Windows safe mode.

Then remove free AVG and install Windows Security Essentials (free but written by Microsoft for their own OS).
Oh and remove any instant messengers and make sure you do all Windows Updates (although I assume you already had all the Windows Updates).
