Answer 2

It's a browser hijack attempt. Don't worry. Most antispyware programs get rid of this. I suggest Spybot - Search and destroy from http://www.safer-networking.org and Lavasoft's AdAware SE from http://www.lavasoft.de
Update and run a full system scan. 99% guarantee. , . Also try running every scans (including AVG) in windows safe mode (press F8 during startup) In safe mode u can stop the running exe because only the basic requiements are loaded in safe mode.

Again there is a much powerful tool called hijackthis which should be used only if others fails, because it's a bit professional. Delete only bad entries u find (using google or forums find out which is bad) It shows many normal things in scan, which accidently deleted may actually screw things up.

Answer 3

And once you have got your computer cleaned using the advice above stop using Internet Explorer - Microsoft's highly efficient "Spyware and virus downloading tool"!!! Switch to Firefox instead --> http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/ instead. It is so much better and far more secure too. Popups, spyware and viruses picked-up from web sites will become a thing of the past.

Answer 4

i would advise installing, hijackthis
http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html
do a scan, and untick the homepage, or any programs thats causing the problem restart the machine do a full scan of the machine using the AVG program. i would advise doing this in safe mode so the program is not active at all.

Answer 5

Sounds a re-formatting job to me if AVG won't kill it.
