Just a guess: you were looking at porn and tried to download the jpeg which
may very well have contained hidden malware.
If AVG caught it you are lucky.
Run a complete virus scan as well as several malware scans.

Malware embedded in an image file which you tried to open. Good thing
your antivirus stopped you.
PS- you might want to install McAfee Site Advisor.
