Default unistalled norton and installed AVG, can't go online?

Anyone have suggestions on why I can't connect with a friends laptop? I removed the norton trial and put on AVG free. It is connected to the network with a great signal but IE will not find the home page and I cannot browse with it. Another program for picture editing did do an update so it somehow is able to connect. I don't understand why IE can't though.

I did safe mode and nothing changed. This was correct option, right? Should I try safe mode with networking?

None. I found out that norton is backwards. you cannot uninstall it. you have to get a file to run to uninstall it. I did a restore back and have internet now and I just have to figure out which file to d/l and make it remove the program. I hate when they do things like this. There are many options for files to d/l too.......I don't know how I will ID the correct one. uhhhh......

I wonder how many other people tried to uninstall it.
