Not Responding

I have a VPCJ12LOE running Windows 7 Home premium. 8Gb ram (installed a week ago). Everything running ok then suddenly when going on the internet with IE my web page takes ages to load and a bar comes up with the message "talktalk is not responding" I also get AVG search page come over a google search. Any ideas why this is happening and what to do. I did a restore to earlyer date but made no difference. Looked in Device manager, no problems there. HELP!

Update: Had an idea that it might be AVG because of the intrusion of their search home page jumping over my google search result so, I uninstalled everything to do with AVG and lo and behold computer back to normal home page loading in good time. Perhaps AVG 2013 is unstable??? I will mark this as answered.

Hi careyclose.

It may be worth checking that the preinstalled McAfee software has been completely removed using the McAfee uninstaller MCPR.exe. If any bits remain they may be conflicting with AVG and blocking Internet downloading.

I know you have fixed it but still worth checking.
