Ok. Simple enough. Basically, the problem I am having, is that after I uninstalled the pre-loaded trial version of Trend Micro, I cannot access the internet after installing ANY other AV program. I've tried Avast Pro 4.8, AVG Free, Avira Free, and Windows Security Essentials. After the required system reboot from the installer, I no longer have an internet connection, although my NIC card shows connectivity, and my gateway is pingable. No addresses will resolve, nothing will connect, be it web addresses, IM protocols, gaming protocols, nothing.
I've done extensive research and testing on the matter, even went so far as to call Geek Squad. No one has an answer for me. I've tried Winsock2Fix, disable Windows Firewall, disable Avast firewall, turned off UAC, ran installer with admin priveledges, ran Trend Micro uninstaller from their website, etc etc.
First scan is WITHOUT Avast installed, meaning I had an active internet connection available.
