HELP!  Anytime I go to a website with a video on the page, it turns into an ad!  There was a name at the bottom of the ad... Sekindo.  I googled it and it's malware.  It turns every video into an ad!  How in the world do I get this off my computer?!?!?! 

Thanks for your help! 

(I have AVG Pro, and my AVG Internet Sercurity says I'm 100% protected)

Hello Amanda,

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. We request you to update your AVG program once and do a whole computer scan once.
AVG programs are capable of detecting and removing the malware programs, however there are numerous number of malware programs emerging day by day and we are working 24/7 to add all those definitions to our database. We request you to start uninstalling all unknown, unnecessary programs from your computer, make sure you dont uninstall the windows programs. Also remove all the weird, unwanted add-ons, plugins, extensions, tool bars and search bars from your web browsers, if the issue persists, reset your browsers once. This should fix your issue. Please feel free to contact us should you need any assistance.
