crannman- who are you with?

[Snadger]

I think McAfee and Norton ARE viruses! Have you ever tried to get them off your system!

Never had a problem with anything from this site.
Yours sounds like a download that has "automatically" added in an extra bit - it is actually fairly common. I always read exactly what is stated as the download file.

Which browser are you using?
I seem to recall Chrome had this problem very recently, caused by one of their authorised partners altering the tool bar and swamping the users with adverts.

Getting rid of them is usually "easy" but time consuming, deleting files is only part, raiding the registry is generally necessary and also identifying the alternative names for the set of programs.

Suspect that part of the problem is that the PC announces a new update is available and people agree or have the system set to automatic updates.
