I have solved my problem connecting to the Internet by going to the Security tab in IE8 and lowering its' slider to the bottom. Now I can connect. Avira still can't get updates but that may be a different problem.

just tried this and it worked also then reset back to default level but unticked the "enable protected mode" and now all is working
