Hello Toby. You might have installed some adware programs unknowingly along with the installation of other programs. For your information no antivirus program is capable of providing you with 100% protection with this type of adware programs although AVG are always working 24/7. These adware programs should be removed manually. I would recommend you to start with uninstalling all unknown/unused programs and browser addons.
My computer has become infected with a virus that seems to have imposed a change so that whenever I try to run a program, Media Center runs instead. Sometimes I can get a program to run (at present Outlook, Paintshop Pro and Explorer seem to work OK) but AVG has been completely corrupted and I can't get any downloaded scanning progrems to run.
Has anybody any ideas? I can't even run System Restore…
I'll be extremely grateful fro any advice. I've tried Google but I get lots of references to Media Centre Popup Ads virus which isn't the same thing as my problem.
Many thanks
