Firewalls, antivirus software and USB modem

I installed broadband for my dad last September. Unfortunately he signed up with TalkTalk before I could stop him and it was a nightmare to set up but eventually got it going. Downloaded AVG on Saturday and then couldn/t get online so removed it and was OK again. Then downloaded TalkTalk's own online security assuming it would be compatible but now can only get online if I unplug his modem (USB connection) once the computer has booted. He can then get on and off OK until he shuts the computer down/restarts it when he has to unplug it again. Sounds like a firewall issue to me but Me doesn't have its own firewall and I've removed both AVG and TalkTalk antivirus so none there either. All TalkTalk could suggest was to reload the Modem which made no difference. Any ideas...please????
