Default Computer Virus That Randomly Deletes MP3s?

I noticed a few weeks ago one of my favorite (and most played) songs on my computer was mysteriously missing. It happened to be a rare copy that I was able to track back down again online with a relatively low amount of effort, and shrugged it off that I may have just deleted in on accident. I was cooking dinner just now and felt like listening to some Coldplay, and went to my Winamp to bring it up. Hm, thats strange, only 5 songs? Lets check the Garden State soundtrack...it should be in there (I wanted to hear Don't Panic)...yet that was gone too. All of the Garden State files were there except the Coldplay song. What the fuck. Luckily I regularly backup my shit (and will do it even moreso now), but its still fucked up. Going to spend the rest of the night running AVG and looking for patches/the possible virus I might have.

If any of you have any info on this, lemme know. I'm relatively inexperienced with computer viruses; i usually run a pretty tight ship when it comes to downloads/virus scanning but it seems one snuck through.

Another interesting note, about a week ago I noticed my AVG had been uninstalled from my computer, which I promptly reinstalled. Actually, i'm going to back everything up tonight
