HOW CAN I FIX THE PROXY SETTINGS IN MY LAPTOP BECAUSE WHEN MY VIRUS PROTECTION IS TRYING TO UPDATE IT CANT ?

Like Jon said, you can change it in Microsoft Internet Explorer by going Tools, Internet Options, Lan settings. Then if you are not behind a proxy, blank the fields. But seeing as it's avg that's giving the problem, go into avg and go settings, look around for an option to set the proxy address and port, blank those (or enter in the correct address if you're using one) and try again. Hope this helps.

How much does Best Buy charge to remove viruses from a laptop?

As a former Best Buy employee, they will charge you $199 to fix your computer in store. If you want your data backed up (which you probably do), that's an additional $99. If you want them to install antivirus/antispyware for you, that's yet another additional $99. In short, you're probably looking at about $299-399.

Oh, and they won't report you for limewire unless you have child pornography on your laptop.
