Technical Problem - internet problem after update

[Leo4211]

Hello, I have some problems after updating the Avast Free Antivirus. When I updated my Free Antivirus, it automatically upgraded to Internet Security. After I restore it back to Free Antivirus, I was unable to surf the internet. Then, I restore my PC back to the point when it is Internet Security and I restore it again. This time, I can use google search but I cannot browse websites. However, when I turned off Web Shield, everything works perfect. Would anyone please help me to fix the problem? Thanks a lot.
