AVG i think, my gf normally installs which ever one we use. AVG is in the bottom right hand corner.

I've also just realised when i sign in as me the computer is fooked, when i sign in as a guest or my sister it works fine no pop ups with warning etc.

Thats strange, make another account and transfer your stuff onto it, that would be the easiest way to remedy the situation.

If your not already using Firefox id start using it, its better than Internet explorer, i NEVER get pop ups and i havent even installed a pop up blocker
