Thanks all :beer:0 -
Make sure you give it a full scan with kaspersky to be sure as im not entirely confident your machine is clean:idea:0

Yes rik i did a scan this morning and it did find some more viruses but its now saying pc is clear and protected.
Funny thing though - just tried to log onto my bank and the safety padlock is not showing, so i rang the bank and they said it is ok at their end. Do you think its something to do with kaspersky.0 -
Really not sure
whichever bank it is make SURE you have the right address (Bogus ones can look very similar):idea:0 -
Its ok now, phoned bank again and she said internet explorer doesnt always show the padlock but if i log in and press f11 it should show up and it did.0

Did you run the AVG removal tool?
If not try that first
