Computer--popups and re directions.

[Minimalist]

I use Mozilla Firefox and Google. I have AVG security suite.

Over the last week or so (since I installed AVG) I keep getting popups to say a gambling site from all kinds of links on forums. AND I keep getting redirected to other sites and secondary search engines when clicking on a Google search results,even when AVG shows it as safe. I also have Adblock plus.

I recently did a start up scan using Spybot. It found ans removed 5 trojans. Seems I still have trojans. Logic suggests AVG may be the culprit. Anyway of finding out apart from removing AVG and ALL components using an uninstall utility?

There is a Firefox add-on called Adblock. It works very well. I no longer get those annoying sound ads where your computer starts telling you about some bullshit product nor any pop ups. It also seems to help pages load quicker.
