Hello,
I have been having some trouble lately especially with Internet Explorer. I am able to use the internet, but often times I am redirected to sites, especially when using google. I use AVG free edition, but it says both my anti-virus and anti-spyware databases are outdated. When i try to update, I get a message saying, "The connection with the update server has failed." It says to go to avg.com, but this is impossible because I can't go to any anti-virus site. If I try to go to an antivirus site, I get a message saying that I can't connect to the internet with a button that says diagnose connection problems. Or I am taken to a google search of what I just entered in the address bar.
Here are some of the sites I am being redirected to:
www.ave99.com,
www.everydayhealth.com,
www.amspec-05.com
