I've been using AVG for quite awhile now too and I've never gotten more than a few bad cookies from Internet Explorer. COOKIES.

Couldnt help but think of this...

Ouch. That sucks.

If it were me I'd prolly backup whatever you safely can and re-format. It's a pain in the butt though. I just formatted and did a clean install of my OS last week and it took a good chunk of my weekend to get back to where I was. I do that a few times a year though just because I like to keep it all clean and lean. Good luck.

And on a much more immature note I just have to say...

Then Lam suggested I get this firefox add-on

Hmm... Interesting addon. I might give it a shot. It's a really great idea, but I'm not sure how well it goes in practice since it's reliant on user ratings.

A little worried about false positives from people just because they might not like a site for arbitrary reasons. A lot of the negative reviews of the addon are complaints of just that sort of thing. Can't hurt to try it out though.

yeah now whenever i try to google something, when i click on the google link, it brings me to a site that probably has virusses on it. (only when i use Google Chrome)

and i tried reinstalling osu since it hasnt been working for a while now...
:/ now whenever i try to install osu the bar is stuck at 100% and when i try to close it it doesnt close. i cant even turn my comp off when its open and i have to go down and hold down my power button for it to turn off.
:/ i would end process with task manager but my moms time restricting program blocks me from opening Task manager T-T
