    Did google really change the underlined search results to bold letters or is there a virus messing with my computer? Norton & AVG haven't found anything but I was looking at porn before I noticed google had change appearances I did a system restore & that didn't make a difference, so am I good or should I worry?

    having two antivirus programs tend to conflict with each other and miss viruses altogether.
    download free avira and ccleaner.
    unplug internet cord.
    uninstall all you virus protection.
    restart computer, install avira, pay special attention to the next screens unchecking bloatware junk, plug internet back in. run ccleaner, run full avira scan. this has always fixed (minor) problems for me.

    YouTube changed their layout / design again about a week or two ago and yes, Google has also made recent changes (which I personally don't like).

    You're absolutley right. Antiviruses act in some regards,very similar to much malware. Background processes that are residual in ram. Logging of processes. They'll often see each other as viruses, and it'll make your computers run poorly.

    Also I see many offers for cracked antiviruses online also, which is a reallly bad idea. Antiviruses run with root permissions and ruunning a warez version bypasses that.
