Hello friends, I am facing a weird problem in my system, that is Adware/HomeAntivirus2010 enters in the system when connected to the web. I am not able to understand why this is happening. I delete it everytime with the help of the AVG antivirus, that I have installed in my system. I am using Windows XP Service Pack 2 and I need to know that is this a browser issue? Well, the browser that I use mostly is Opera 10.
