Now what? Virus?

Have tried to get into Outlook today and it keeps freezing up such that I cant get into my mail.
I have good range of protection.
Avg 7.5 is now not accepting updates (only since last night), an error is saying must close the programme.
Have run Malwarebytes and no probs.
Any help please, I'm panicking as I really need to get at my email tonight.
Thanks

    How can you say you have a good range of protection when you have AVG7.5 which has NO anti spyware protection?

    You can do a HIJACK log if you like so we can have a quick look to see if your infected?
    :idea:

    Is AVG 8 any better?
    I'm just used to AVG and it has served me fine so far.
    I do use other protection like Adaware, CCleaner etc.
    Is this not good enough?:o
  • Just updated and running Adaware and when it got to AVG it showed 23 infections instantly!
    Now what to do?:eek:
  • What infections is it showing - are they tracking cookies?
  • it's not finished running yet but they all came up as the little line in the middle that shows you which bit is being actively scanned was showing AVG.
    No more have been added.
    Scan is about 60% done.
  • Adaware finished and showed a total of 26 infections.
    Whebn I clicked on delete, it crashed!
    Help.:eek:
  • Give this a blast;
