Agh, so as of late my virus protection has been kind of off and on, but I figured it's time I cracked down on this so my computer doesn't download more **** than it already has. So I'm trying to download AVG, when I run into the same problem I had last time I tried to download it, which is that it "can't detect a working internet connection" and won't install. However, I very clearly have a working internet connection, and even though it's a slow wireless one it still should be detected by AVG. Does anybody know what there is to do here? It says I should fill out some information if I'm connected via a proxy server, and while I'm not completely sure if I am I'm not. This is making me sad.

Also, does anybody know of any good programs out there made to scour computers for viruses? I'm pretty sure I have one due to the fact that random pop-ups are making their way onto my screen and there are periods of time where half the links I click won't load.
