    Default Gah! Need better anti-bug stuff

    I'm a freaking, man. I'm a freaking.

    I have AVG 9.0 installed but my machine keeps getting redirected from a Google search to all these other useless "search sites' instead of the place I wanted straight through Google. And I'm getting ****** off.

    I tried to get superantispyware but after I finally make it to the site and click on the free download, Google pops up saying the site is busted or something like that.

    I used to run Ad-Aware and Spybot and AVG but this machine gets flipped around so much I don't know where that stuff went, and I think I had an AVG vs. Ad-Aware problem as well.

    Happy to hear all suggestions. Thanks.

    Use another computer to get the software., using a USB stick.

    Also, once you computer is fine, make sure your USB stick is clean, so you don't spread your virsuses and other things to peoples machines.

    Also, if you got anything important backed up, you could always schelude a re-format and install.

    Stop using IE. IE is garbage.

    Install Firefox, then install the Noscript and Adblock Plus plugins.

    Care to explain why you blame all your problems on Google?

    Because it's convenient and Google is easy to spell.
