Hardware Installation. Constant barrage of someone/something trying to install an Activity Monitor and now today Non Plug-in & Play Drivers. None are authorised and this in turn turns off AVG which then does not protect my computer. This has been going on for some time now and everything that I have tried has absolutly no effect at all.

Because of these constant interruptions AVG is unable to do a complete update and it is totally impossible for it to scan at all.

I am now beside myself with concern as to what is going on and how can this be stopped and never to happen again.

Please can you help!
