Does anyone know anything about win32.monster or about AVGreen?
The first is supposed to be attacking my computer and the second wants to defend it, but I'm not familiar with either one and don't know how far to trust the situation. buckeye

I've never heard of "AVGreen", it sounds close to AVG but the third letter is for "Grisoft" and not "Green". This is a fake antivirus program, I suggest you don't do anything it tells you to. "win32.monster" is a fake virus, it doesn't even exist.
I suggest you remove "AVGreen" as soon as possible. Try the following programs:

I suggest you run them in safe mode, if you can, especially SmitfraudFix.

Try running scans with the following programs. They are all free and can be downloaded from download.com. Not only will they remove current infections, but they will also protect from here on out.
1) Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
2) SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition
3) Avira AntiVir Personal
4) ThreatFire
If you are unable to do so, run a scan on this site first and then install the programs: www.eset.com/onlinescan/
