I have just tried to access MP3 Rocket which I haven't used for ages, and it prompted me to update to the latest version, which I did,......and now I appear to have also acquired AVG.

As I understand it, more than one anti-virus prog is NOT A GOOD THING...and as I already have MSE, which would you helpful folk recommend I keep, + which should I bin?
Thanks,

I very much doubt that you've actually acquired AVG Anti-Virus. It's far more likely that you've accidentally installed a browser extension called either AVG Secure Search Toolbar or AVG SafeGuard Toolbar. It simply examines web links offered to you, to check on their safety. (i.e.it's NOT an anti-virus program, as such) You don't need it. Get rid of it:...

Quick update, + one final question please.....I've replaced MSE with Avast, + have installed Malwarebytes.......when I click on the Malwarebytes icon, I am seeing a User Account Control box...."Do you want to allow the following programme,...blah blah", rather than being taken to the Menu page.
Is this normal?
