Drop in Trojan - Safe now?

My son wanders around the internet on various sites trying to get live sport. Leastways he says these are the only dodgy sites he goes on. Anyway he has the latest paid for AVG and Malwarebytes anti-malware installed on his machine. The other day he turned on his computer and saw an alert from AVG stating they had detected 2 Trojan Drop In which had the highest danger rating and one partly opened Exi file. It said they had been isolated and quarantined. On switch on the next day it detected 2 others and again had isolated and quarantined. He has since done 3 complete computer scans with AVG and nothing detected. Is it now safe or should he have the computer professionally looked at in case there are any more nasties lingering in his system? I believe these drop ins allow someone to remotely access your machine and so are quite dangerous.
