Thanks Alan.
I have in the meantime installed and run  adwcleaner_3.310 and can no longer find any trace of either the WindowsManagerProtect or ClearThink adware viruses. I hope that's the end of the saga and that the information I've provided contributes to AVG's inclusion of a remedy for both viruses in a definition update in the not too distant future.
I can see you're a busy man in the forum - appreciate your contribution to enhancing the robustness of the product we have spent our hard earned on!  :-)
Regards,
Michael.

Michael, For info have you 'googled' the statements you've been receiving?. No AV product is capable of providing you with 100% protection although AVG are always working 24/7.
Have a look @ these 2 articles…

Since visiting an online MP3 streaming site my PC has been afflicted wih a continuous stream of pop up ads that occupy 3 separate windows at the bottom of the screen. The most common of these are

  1.  "Windows update Restart your computer to finish installing importent (sic) updates" Restart now/Postpone
  2. "System Alert Suspicious files may have been found Your PC is running slower than usual. It is recommeded that you repair PC errors immediately"
  3. "Your computer is about to crash..."
An AVG whole compter scan detects zero errors. Yet this adware junk keeps on appearing, even when I'm on the AVG site!

Any tips, tricks, suggestions most welcome as my user experience is singularly unpleasant at the moment!

Thanks in adavance, Michael.
