if you already have a virus, it is better to use an online virus scan software, delete the efected files manually and THEN install AVG.

With my limited knowledge, if the virus is in the registry seek expert help before deleting.
Any feedback on this is welcome.

Thank you people!
The software is needed for a friend(but soon for me too, as my norton antivirus will expire), according to him, he got no virus, but he can't get the pop-up blocker disabled, so he concluded that the reason is his recently installed antivirus software (AVS, if I am not mistaken).
About the pop-up blocker, we tried all we could to make it OFF, nothing works!
On another Armenian forum, someone recommended this link for free norton antivirus.
http://www.soft32.co...nload_9693.html
When I open the link, my Windows 'encounters problems', so I can't download. Do you have any idea why Windows encounters problems whenever I open that site?

He might not have a virus but one of those really annoying spyware/adware type things that install junk all over the PC. For that, you want to download Spybot.
Just to add, that AVG anti-spyware 7.5 is good add-on also. And it has just like AVG anti-virus a free version.
