My guess is that what happened to your computer is an infection with some malware that makes income for the malware developer by generating clicks on the pages like Launchpage.org. Have a look in the [Startup] tab. Is there some program in there that shouldn't be there? Installing pop-ups blocking software/antimalware will help ease your fears and remove the malware. Here (http://www.icleansoftware.com/how-to-remove-launchpage-org-redirect/) is a good one recommended for you.
Hello Joe,
You will receive some advertisement popups or get redirected to other webpages if some of the adware programs have got installed on your computer unknowingly while trying to install any other programs.
You can remove this easily, first go to control panel and click on Programs and Features and in the list of programs search for any tool bar or search bar or any weird programs installed in your computer. If you see some suspicious program please uninstall it.
If you don't see any of such programs then please open your browser and you need to delete the unwanted plugin, extension, toolbar or search bar that is installed in your browser. After removing such things you wont be getting any popups when you browse the internet.
We always recommend you to install only trusted programs and do custom installation to view if any unwanted software is being installed.
Please feel free to contact us should you need any further assistance.
Thank you.

Hi, despite recently signing up to AVG Pro, my Chrome browser has been recently hit with what I assume is some kind of spyware / malware. The topic above pops up with a recording telling me to call Microsoft on the number listed in my topic line. On opening a web page, it doesn't go to my bookmrked page, instead it goes to randon sites (usually "launchpage.org"). This only seems to happen on google and Internet Explorer. Not on firefox (although firefox is unbelieveably slow!!). Any help / suggestions gratefully received!
