Hi There

Strange that downloading AVG would do this.

Here is an AVG Removal Tool

Maybe you could try Avast or Avira

Anyway does your wlan adaptor show up in device manager

It is there and it is working intermittently. Eventually it freezes the laptop and you cannot do anything - i have to hold down the power button to switch off and try again - then when it boots up you cannot do anything and after 4 or 5 clicks on an icon or shortcut there is a loud beep and then even to mouse pointer stops working. every 5 or 6 times i reboot it allows me to open programmes etc. and evetually freezes. i tried to download avast but all it does is open another AV software called AntiVirus Live which if i google comes back as a rogue scam AV software.

i had this. easy to get rid of. just run your virus/malware removal tool. after a few minutes (before the virus shuts it all down) stop the scan and delete what it has found so far. Then repeat and repeat. I did this for a few hours and it was all clean.
