AVG is a great product, but is it sounds like you may have bitten off the FULL AVG Security Suite. Full security suites are over-kill for most computer users and can be tough to determine exactly how to configure and maintain them.

I'm hoping that you just downloaded the trial copy and haven't ponied up any money for it yet. If so, download the FREE version of AVG Anti-virus for home users at: http://free.grisoft.com , then install and use ONLY Mozilla Firefox for your browser...get it at: http://www.firefox.com, and lastly install an anti-spyware product like SpyBot Search & Destroy or Super Anti-Spyware from http://www.helpmerick.com/links

Good luck.
