Help!! I have been trying to download AVG Anti-Virus
software, as I stupidly forgot to renew my Norton package
that came with my new PC, I obviously now have infection
somewhere but cant access the software to get rid. I have
been able to download, but when I click on install I get
the dialog box with the time line and then it just
disappears off screen. I have Lavasoft Ad-ware and have
quarantined whatever was found with that, but have no
luck with the Anti Virus. I have also tried to open it
from a PC, with the same result. Can anyone help?
 
Look here for other suggestions of tools for the malware -- like
spybot search and destroy. PestPatrol is good -- use there online
scan is good too. Trend has housecall -- free online scanner. alot
of the bugs these days will prevent tools that will eleminate them
from being loaded or run. Check you running processes for anything
out of the ordinary... Pest Patrol can really help with this. and
also need to do smome registry surfing but do that only if you are an
advanced user or want to windup reloading your system if you
accidently change something.
