Sounds more like spyware. AVG is a fine product and no virus protection will catch everything.

Give Avast a try. I like it a little better. Its the same price as AVG.

downloat Spybot (freeware) and set your IE cookies to block anything from Antivirusgolden.com

Win Fixer is another one that uses a popup to redirect you to a pay site...

we finally had to take our computer in, seems microsoft has no fix for this new virius/ spyware. also this thing get into your computer and splits into 3 parts and then starts to have babies so to speak, it really messes with the performance of your machine, but also starts to play with the explorer part of your web browser, cost us 65 bucks to beat this thing, all total there was 500 forms of spyware, but all had a common link of a ...exe. local computer people found the similar pattern, also gets into the dll files, with a different similar common ...dll , mixed with a install...exe.
local computer shop said this was the hardest problem they have ever had to try to fix. so far 2 days problem free, I think they got it.
