Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore > Restore system to an earlier time

Pick the restore point that is right about the time you started having problems. While NAV is problematic and AVGFree is 10x better, the renewal shouldn't have messed with it.

You won't lose any documents, it will just refresh your directory and registery to a time you wern't having problems. If it doesn't work you can roll back forward.

Very Important: DO NOT turn off your computer, un plug your computer or do anything until it asks you to or the restore is complete. You can mess things up.
