hi ..have windows 7 on a toshiba laptop ... was trying to update avg .was taking toooooo long , 45 min. so i stopped it , it was taking toooooo long , 20 min to stop ,so i closed it . now i can't get back onto the internet, have a connection , tried downloading ie 9 , and still can't get back on ........HELP PLEASE !!!!

Try uninstalling avg and either reinstall it or try a different anti virus and while your at it uninstall ie9 its crap

Try doing a system restore. That ought to do the trick. Then go and get Firefox or Chrome. They are so much better than Internet Exploder. Also, I would get rid of AVG and go get yourself Avast. It's free and it has more and better features than AVG. I would also get Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, Spybot Search & Destroy, SuperAntiSpyware, and HiJack This. They are all free and can be found at cnet.com. Also, I would go to ashampoo.com/en/usd/lpa/softpedia and get their Burning Studio 2010 Advanced and WinOptimizer 6. Both of which are also free. With all these apps your comp ought to be tighter than a penguins asshole.

Avoid Internet Explorer like the plague. IE will only cause you more problems.

AVG anti-virus is mediocre at best. Go with Avast or Avira anti-virus or even the free version of Panda.

Along with that get a decent anti-spyware like Ad-Aware or Malwarebytes Antimalware. I am sure Avast combines well with the 2 antispyware programs above, but not sure about Avira or Panda.

do what troubleshooter said. get rid of IE. go to Mozilla Firefox. Get rid of AVG download Avast and Malewarebytes. The only coverage you will need to keep your system safe. and work the best.
