I run AVG Internet Security 2008 and everything works great but every time I
scan my computer it finds a new "hidden driver" its always an .SYS file and
its only one at a time. sometimes it's a new one and sometimes its one ive
seen before that couldn't be removed for whatever reason. don't know what
causes this so any help would be great thanks.

Without knowing the names of some of these "hidden drivers", there's no way
I can address your issue specifically. I'd suggest you scan with some other
tools per these general steps:

Don't Panic!
 
Reboot your computer!
Tap F8 right at Power on/ startup.
When you see the list, use the UP and DOWN arrows to go up to Safe Mode hit
ENTER.
Once there, Scan your computer with AVG again.
If it has found probs in Dymanic mode, it will remove them in Safe mode.
