You could get it fixed at most generic comp shops.

Try AVG Remover for starters. If your homepage keeps getting changed, it could be malware of some sort.

Heres what to do. Uninstall AVG and either install Avira Personal edition or Nod32. I remove viruses for a living and those are my two top picks. In my personal and professional opinion, Avira is the best free antivirus and Nod32 is the best paid antivirus. Out of the two though I use Nod32. Its brilliant at prevention as well as detection and removal. Avira is the best at detection though, consistently scoring a tad below perfect in official comparative tests. Removal isn't its strong point though and may delete infected important system files. Nod32 will try to clean infected files though which is why I choose it over Avira.

Anyway as well as Avira or Nod32 download and run Malwarebytes. It will probably find a ton of things depending on how long you've had that Computer of yours. Malwarebytes is brilliant for finding and removing hidden keyloggers, adware, trojans and other such nasties that would prevent your computer from working well.

I use Malwarebytes to do the main big job of virus detection and removal and then use Nod32 for virus prevention and to finish the virus detection and removal process although Malwarebytes is so exceptional at what it does, Nod32 doesn't usually find anything so Nod's job is to just sit there and protect your computer from ever getting infected again.

Anyway, good luck.

im not trying to insult anybody....being a legal secretary you should know better than anyone that making things sound clear and easy to read makes it a whole lot easier for people to understand what you are trying to say ..... all im saying is that people are less inclined to read your full problem if it is full of short text and numbers for words.

so in short yes you can type whatever way you want but dont expect as many replies .
