So I'm not that bright with the old computers there. I've got AVG free 8.0 on here already, ran a scan and it said I had a potential key stroke worm or something? sorry, I didnt think to get screenshots or write it down. Anyways, computer restarts, then when I try to access the internet again it takes me to a screen that says basically

"Due to insecure internet browsing you're at risk of worms, virus' etc etc" and wants me to get some software, had "soft" in the title, other option is "surf unprotected" (not recommended)". It says something about shield protection. Anyone have a half a clue what I'm talking about or any help ideas? I've got a gateway w/ regular windows, no vista

My only change from my "standard" surfing has been going to Justintv and yahoo sports to watch flames games.
Thanks in advance
