Once you have done so, use this guide to reset your DNS Server choice to automatic. (Divert from step 7 in order to choose "Obtain DNS server address automatically")

Download, install, update and run a Quick Scan with Malwarebytes' AntiMalware. When complete, choose 'Remove Selected' if there is anything to remove and Reboot your computer.

After restart, open the program again and go to 'Logs'. Double click on the log produced for today and post the contents here.

You should now be able to connect to the Internet.

Why do you think it was a joke.
I downloaded avg because I had removed an expired version of Norton.
I then ran AVG scan and Malwarebytes for good measure.

Because I have never actually heard of AVG detecting and removing anything.

Something like Kaspersky's Antivirus would have been more useful.

I haven't found it so bad. I've been using the free version for years.

Between AVG and Malwarebytes I've managed to keep my computers safe from attacks
I once got a nasty trojan but that was my own fault for visiting a site that was a bit dodgy (no nothing naughty). AVG got rid of it ok
I've since advised anyone I know not to use Limewire
