   I have a search engine problem
   
   I have AVG-paid version. I have Google Chrome that I am using. I have selected the Google Chrome be my default search engine, but AVG's isearch takes control. I did go to where it is checked and unchecked it...only for it to take control when I open a new tab yet again. I cleared the cache for the last 4 weeks. This problem has only been happening the last couple of days. How do I stop AVG's isearch from taking over my computer?!??

   Go to Control Panel-Internet Options- Change your homepage
   
   Check and see what is listed as your home page.  Example: If you want Yahoo as your home page just put http://yahoo.com      You do that for google, etc.

   I'm really not impressed with AVG at all. Switch to a much better antivirus. The Avira Home Edition has been serving me for a couple of years now and it kept my computer safe from all sort of threats without bugging me at all. Try it out. Good luck and God bless!

   Hi Lady. I had AVG virus protection as a trial and I too am having problems with it. The trial finished and I keep getting pop up´s telling me a programme is trying to open ( AVG) out of protected mode, I also keep getting them telling me my trial period has now expired, it drives me mad because you click on the red X which should cancel the message only to have it pop up again a second later, the other day it was so bad I had to shut down my PC a number of times before it stopped happening.

   It is just because, you have installed AVG antivirus and selected AVG search as your default search. I also had same problem so I uninstalled AVG.
