I accidentally downloaded from a different site
« on: April 14, 2014, 12:20:53 AM »
And now I am having problems.

I downloaded from:

avast-2014-free.downloads205.com/‎

And realized partway through that this was not the proper avast website.  It kept trying to get me to register for an online storage service (I should have written the name down, but it was something like "put online") and the damn popups kept coming and coming

I used ctrl alt delete to finally get it all shut down, and then i tried to delete the programs from the computer

Didn't seem to  have worked though, because now when i try to go online, i get an error message and it states the proxy server is being redirected.

This is on a different computer at a different location, so i don't have all the info available.

Am I out of luck and will have to get pro help?
