    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    I can assure you the AVG files we have on this site are 100% clean and are directly from AVG.

    Also, AVG Free (the real one), as you mentioned is in-fact free and you would not be prompted to purchase AVG nor would it take you offline.

    This is what we call scareware. It may look similar to AVG, but it's not actually AVG :(

    Please the read the below and complete all the steps if you would like us to rid your PC of malware

    i would like to follow those steps but the pc wont let me open anything . once im in windows the first thing to come up is security warning! malicious program detected. about every thing i try to open it opens for 2 seconds than gone. and im one a mini acer no cd-rom and no memory stick to copy anything to. and how did i get this when all i did was go to major geeks than to top freeware picks and clicked on download avgfree from the screen?

    My best guess is that you got infected with a fake rogue tool around the same time you were seeking to install AVG.

    If you are still having trouble completing the Read&Run me first, try the below:

    Please download RKill by Grinler to your desktop.
    RKill is an easy to use tool that kills known processes that stop the use of our normal anti-malware applications. Simple as that. Nothing fancy. Just kill known malware processes so that anti-malware programs can do their job.

    RKill can be downloaded from the following locations. Please note that the other filenames below are RKill as well, just renamed in order to allow it run by certain malware.
    Note: You only need to get one of them to run, not all of them.

    RKill.com Download Link
    RKill.exe Download Link
    RKill.scr Download Link
    eXplorer.exe Download Link - This renamed copy may trigger an alert from MBAM. It can be ignored and is safe.
    iExplore.exe Download Link
    WiNlOgOn.exe Download Link
    uSeRiNiT.exe Download Link

    Then immediately continue trying to work your way through the Read&Run me first.
