I am already having nightmares

The pc has now slowed down. each time I click on a link etc, there is a long delay, then a message appears: ....timed out. If this happens again, contact ...

I have decided to spend the £29.99 (half price) and renew the Norton software. Trouble is avg has changed browser settings

Looks like damage has already been done

AVG won't have changed any browser settings unless you ticked a box saying "change this or that"

wine~o, I kept getting this message every time I clicked on a link/page:
Temporary Error
Operation timed out. Please try again. If the problem persists, please check your network settings.
REALLY

I did click on something without thinking, which resulted in the browser settings being changed. Sites that I could just get signed into without password etc dissapeared?

Have done a computer reset and choosed a period two weeks back and can now move and click abouts with more ease and no delays

Hope it lasts

Windows security essentials and MBam.

Be worth checking your internet line.

If you've ended up with AVG and Norton and possibly even MS Security Essentials all installed at the same time then you're going to see a lot of problems.

Don't waste £30 on Norton. You're far better off to uninstall all your A/V software (recommend you use the uninstaller/remover that Norton and others publish for their software rather than just add/remove programs in control panel), then start again from scratch with just MSSE.

I use Avast anti virus http://www.avast.com/en-gb/index in conjunction with Comodo Firewall. Avast has for the last 2 years been reliable for me and does not seem to hog much system resources. Also it is free.

Hope this helps
