Possible Virus
My free Avast Anti Virus program expired and a friend suggested Lava Soft and now Lava Soft has hi-jacked my home page and I cannot get rid of it. It has changed the configuration of the list of Programs (Unistall) in my Control Panel.
I feel this may be a virus,can you help me get rid of this?
