you should get spybot search & destroy, it helps to get rid of those unwanted spybots that are embedded in your pc. I use it everyday before logging off pc. Spybot - Search & Destroy can detect and remove a multitude of adware files and modules from your computer. Spybot also can clean program and Web-usage tracks from your system, which is especially useful if you share your computer. Modules chosen for removal can be sent directly to the included file shredder, ensuring complete elimination from your system. For advanced users, it allows you to fix Registry inconsistencies related to adware and to malicious program installations. The handy online-update feature ensures that Spybot always has the most current and complete listings of adware, dialers, and other uninvited system residents.
Version 1.4 has the first native multi-installation scanner, noticeably faster than the previous version during scans, and has improved the tools and updated the interface.

You can also get the free version of Spyware Blaster and the free version of AdAware. Make sure your Norton has been removed from your system. Updated or not, it will interfere with your AVG.
Yes, Norton is evil.

I Highly suggest getting McAfee Anti-Virus software. I use it and its working great for me. I believe its free for Comcast High-Speed internet subscribers.
