Is it just me but each time I open the STW forum page I get an unwanted download called 'unknown' from 'Leekes, your home' or somewhere. Never heard of them? Didn't ask for it and I don't really like it. Can STW stop it, each time I visit it downloads again. I have three copies.
Just me?

Doesn't your security package stop it?

Does that malwarebytes co-operate with AVG?

Yes works great with it as it's not AV.

OK, I downloaded malwarebytes this morning, and ran a check. It found only stuff that AVG had already locked away, then should have finished and shut down. But it seems like it's still going, clogging up the PC, slowing things down, with the HD light constantly flickering.

Does anyone else get this? It's getting close to uninstall time.

err is mikey-simmo also slowoldgit?

back on topic, try a different browser and see if it still happens.

re: AVG still going after 7 hours despite saying it's finished it does sound like somethign is wrong.
