Yea i been recommending avast lately, over AVG make sure you install all of your drivers for your hardware, since you reinstalled windows. I’m hoping you reformatted your harddrive , or did u just install windows right over the old one? (well not over it , it renames the windows folder, but whatever) if your pc was prebuilt from dell/hp/or whatever u can go right to their site, search your model and shit download drivers specific to your windows OS if it was custom built then just go to mobo site for drivers, video card nvidia/ati for their shit, yano u get the idea but it is important to have all your device drivers installed… especially display ---

I redid and did a backup file instead of destructive. It seems to work fine now. Its a Gateway computer. I really didnt have anything important that wasnt easily replaceable on it. I just had to reinstall a few programs and the printer and everything else is the way it came from the store. ---

before u do that do this first : go into tools section, then click manage add ons , then disable google and anything else that is suspicious, problem solved 🙂 that shit happens to me all the time and that always fixes it , cause everytime u go to a site some of them add “add ons” to ur pc and messes it up 🙂 ---
