Virus - not found by AVG

The "other AV Company" that identified the virus, I have now remembered…it was McAffee.

Hi Tony, I will help you with the issue, may I know which AVG program have you installed in your computer ? and what browser are you using in your computer ?

I appear to have a virus that AVG hasn't detected, probably picked up by attempting to download freeware software via a website.

The effect of it is that my browsers, when they show links, the links have been highjacked by links to unwanted advertisements.

Before I installed AVG (previously purchased), there was another competitive AV product installed (can't recall its name) but it identified this virus.

Sadly, I didn't keep a record of it as I assumed AVG would also locate it.

I clearly need to remove it!

Can anyone please advise - what is this called and how can I remove it?

Thank you

Hi

Thank you.

I am using Firefox (latest version) and my version of AVG is:2015.0.6086.

Oh, and by the way, it also affects Internet Explorer in the same way!
