did you uninstall it before installing avast?

I had CA Security through the cable company (Roadrunner). I removed/uninstalled the program before I DL’d Avast 7

Can you do a full scan here: http://n3.netalyzr.icsi.berkeley.edu/
It will check your Internet connection for trouble.
Did you check this also: https://forms.fbi.gov/check-to-see-if-your-computer-is-using-rogue-DNS

You could also consider to check your IP here for blacklist issues: http://whatismyipaddress.com/blacklist-check

If this will not provide us with certain answers, a qualified remover has to look into the matter.
Funny we are getting one other report like this from the Netherlands, describing internet connectivity problems
after upgrading avast software.

Hi Pondus,

Yep, good thinking. Uninstall remnants can deliver weird issues, also these,
