Connection Problems Since Downloading Antivirus

Can I have some more advice please. Having spent hours downloading Panda Platinum 2006 Internet Security today (on dial-up) I have noticed some connection problems. I am on BT Yahoo Anytime and have an ex directory home telephone number. When I dial-up I get a warning from BT Yahoo (I downloaded their Connection Manager a while ago) saying BT Yahoo Application blocked making silent call c/program files/panda software/panda platinum. This warning is every time I dial up. Is this something I should be worried about or should I ignore it. Also I am getting (not every time I dial up but most times) BT Yahoo possibly no system resources cannot continue must close, I have never had this message before so don't know why this is. Also when I disconnect from the internet I have to shut my computer down completely and re-start it or else if I try and dial-up again without shutting down my computer completely I get the dial-up connection box with the following: Connection settings ok, cannot connect as modem or other connecting device is already in use or is not configured properly and I am unable to dial-up but I know I have disconnected from the internet so my modem shouldn't be in use. I also have premium rate numbers barred from my telephone line through BT so I wouldn't have thought it was a dialler.
Also I keep getting a warning from Panda saying my firewall is on medium and to check it, I go and check it and it says it is ok, I don't know how to put it on to high protection, is medium ok.
I have run in safe mode etc Ewido and Microsoft and done a Panda full scan and nothing can be found.
Again, I would ask that answers are sent with very basic steps to be taken to put things right as I am a complete novice and do not understand much about computers. Thank you in advance Mandy
