Been dealing with this for a few weeks now, but my phone will randomly open Chrome (and, if I'm already in Chrome, a new tab) to some website about downloading a crypto browser app. Then two days ago, I also started getting some drop down ad on my screen itself of some not-Facebook ad (It's...

Recently AVG has been extremely annoying. Games that it didn't used to flag are being flagged; older games (Star Wars: Starfighter) are crashing because of AVG (Game starts, loads some, AVG brings it down claiming it's a virus, same old same old). Perhaps a recent battle with AVG (my father's...

A few days ago, my browser started running very slowly, so i assumed it was a virus, which it was when I installed AVG, which then removed all malware. My laptop was fine until a couple of days ago when not only the browser but the entire OS slowed down (takes 3 seconds to open the right click...

Hello! I wanted to install AVG Free antivirus. Mid-installation, it asked me to reboot. After rebooting, though, it couln't continue installing because HTMLayout.dll was missing. I've two options - fix my missing *.dll file or stop AVG from trying to install every time I reboot my PC. In the...

AVG FREE System Scan tells me I have bucketfuls of registry errors, but the built in sfc /SCANNOW reports none. This is on a relatively new copy of Windows 8.1, and I have never mucked about with RegEdit or anything that could create said errors. Is this AVG trying to get me to buy their product...
