Hi Phil,
There is no Official AVG Support on 3rd party web pages, I recommend stay away from them.
Thanks

Do you know anything about the www.install-antivirus.com? Should I check my PC to see if they put anything on my PC? If so, how?

I was trying to find a phone number to call AVG for support for my Free AVG Antivirus. I found a phone number on Google that I thought was AVG. It said: Technical Help & Support for your AVG Software. I didn't notice it wasn't AVG.com. It was actually http://www.install-antivirus.com (1 877 331 0904).

I called and I let the guy on the phone access my PC remotely. He had me install some iYogi software. He then said I had Astromenda browser highjacker on my PC. He said he would install some software to take care of the problem, but there would be a charge. I said no. I hope he didn't do anything back to my PC.
