Anyone finding AVG free just isn't cutting it any more? I'd never had a problem until recently when my computer got a virus when on a football video website. It changed the desktop wallpaper and I couldn't access anything. Turning it off and on again seemed to fix that.
But since last weekend I've had problems where I go onto a website, whether in firefox, Chrome or ie and it crashes. When it crashes all the open programs close, anti virus, the lot. At the same time it change the file extensions so I can't run .exe files. Absolute pain as I have to go into regedit to change it back manually.
But then I run a full scan on AVG and it finds absolutely nothing. Any recommendations?

Put AVG down a long time ago. Used Avira free before purchasing Kaspersky.
Didn't William Webb Ellis pick up the ball and run, someone should really tell Rugby Union.

It doesn't find anything either
It happened again tonight, massively annoying.
Another problem I'm having is Firefox. I have the latest version of it and the latest version of Adobe. But every time I go on a website with Flash content like embedded adverts, it crashes. I have to wait ten minutes or so before it will let me have control back and then it will say 'oops sorry the adobe plugin crashed, simply refresh the page to fix'.
