It sounds like you have accidentally installed Antivirus 2009, which is a huge problem, because it won't let you connect to any other anti-virus software site, to get rid of it.

Here is a Search on that anti-virus. I think it is going to cost you to get rid of it.

Antivirus 2009 is trying to get your money. Don?t give it to the scumbags and don?t give it to the low life?s that want to charge you for removing it..

Removal here is Free:

edit: it won't let you connect to any other anti-virus software site, to get rid of it.

If this happens then:
Reboot your computer in "Safe Mode" using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and before the Windows icon appears press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode with Networking".

Now follow the instructions from Safe Mode..
