Didn't work in safe mode. Didn't work with IE, guessing it's my AV. Tried to uninstall it but it won't. Tried to repair it, but it won't. Not sure what else to do. It's not even running apparently

OK. Reboot your computer in safe mode (start it up and keep pressing the F8 key until it goes into safe mode).
Then when you've got into windows, uninstall AVG then.
Then report back...

Ah, now there's a possibly related issue. AVG has stopped working, sort of and it wont uninstall. Could be related. Been trying to sort out AVG first but have been unsuccessful so far
Do you know where it quarantines things too?
This screams virus/worm to me - fairly common thing for new viruses to do is kill the AV, and kill things like windows updates, etc. Killing downloads I haven't heard of, but possible. Conficker is a possibility. Wiki page here. Then again, your computer may just be screwed... |

OK, I tried in safe mode this morning (because it was too late by the time I finished last night  ) and the uninstall program says that it can't uninstall because it's not installed. But, I have a start menu thingy for AVG and there's a folder on the comp with loads of AVG files in. When I try and reinstall it, it asks for a licence number which I don't have. |

i had this i think, no exe things would DL and AVG wouldn't unistall, got my bruv round to fix it, think it was to do with turning UAC off so HEM works. fkin vista certainly not a virus |
