Hello Joe,
Thank you for contacting us. Could you let us know whether it is a free version or a paid version of AVG you are using? Are you receiving these pop ups when you are browsing? Please note that these kind of tool bars and search engines get into the computer along with some other software or if we visit any untrustworthy websites accidentally. I would request you to uninstall unknown add ons from your web browsers. Please right click on the desktop shortcuts of your web browsers, click on Properties, check the 'Target' field. It should be “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe” for IE and “C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” for Chrome. Please check and remove if any other text is added to this path.
Please, feel free to let us know if you require any further assistance. Thank you.
Is there a signature in AVG to stop and remove this malware?
