Hey, AVG is good, but not fool proof, no antivurs clients are, i personally prefer norton, although everyone is correct it gets so deep in your system it can cause all kinds of problems, but Norton do patch problems and they patch often, im running norton corporate here, and its never been a problem. Just a life saver.

As for your lacking pound sign, if you goto control panel and check your keyboard and regional settings to see if they are set to US, i eckon that will find ya problem.
