Yesterday the url kept vanishing in the url bar and now today something (possibly AVG?) is trying to get me to use their search engine: My startpage has been replaced with http://search.snapdo.com/?st=ds&q=www.google.com Also, weirdly, freeflvconverting.com has been coming up in my noscript list for *tons* of sites, even Mozilla so something fishy is going on.

Please can you advise me?
