Hi, Gang!

I could not do the system file checker, but I'm finally up and running.

A web person at work suggested I run Scan Disk from Safe Mode, which fixed my problem of programs and files not responding when clicked on. Then I did another uninstall for AVG, which finally allowed me to remove all the files (previous uninstalls left some files that I couldn't get rid of, blocking a new installation). I was then able to reconfigure my internet settings, and voila! I'm back in business.

I tried twice after that to install AVG 8, both times knocking me offline again until I would uninstall it. I gave up on AVG and downloaded Avast, which seems to be working just fine.

Thank you for your assistance, particularly the malware removal!

AVG was always reliable-- but Avast was also a great anti-V
Whatever works for you.... glad you got it sorted ...
