When I did the system restore, for some reason I think Norton, which was installed on the date I did the restore to, is blocking the internet connection. Is there any way to remove Norton without an internet connection?

1) Was wondering which antivirus you would recommend. I am willing to pay for something good if need be. I currently have Mcafee from comcast but it seems to let a few too many things slip by. I have heard that the paid subscription to AVG is pretty good and that some of the free ones are about as good as paid ones.
2) Would you recommend using AVG linkscanner?
