I didn't really know who else to turn to about this problem I'm having, but I was messing with a program called Your Freedom and then when I try uninstalling it my web browsers can't connect to anything. The only way to go on anything is by connecting to a proxy server through the program first which is what I'm doing right now. I'd ask for help on the program site's forums, but it won't let me post because I'm a new member which is stupid. Anyone know how I can make my internet work normally again? I have no system restore points so I can't do that even though I could have sworn my computer automatically made some before. I am using Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. Please help me if you can.

So, this is an anonymizer of sorts? There's a good chance that it fiddled with your DNS settings, that would stop your bowser from working properly. See if you can ping, or load a website directly from IP. The IP I'm getting for Google is 74.125.95.106
If you can load the webpage directly from IP, go into your network settings and see if anything was inserted into the DNS section.

Chances are, it had some malware properties to it. I would uninstall whatever version of IE you have installed (in "add/remove programs" or "programs & features) and then "update" it via Windows Update. Also, consider using a separate working computer to download another browser (because IE sucks anyway) such as Firefox or Chrome. Those ones don't usually break like IE does (your case in point).
Also consider getting Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
You can just plunk this stuff onto a flash drive and copy to /install on the messed computer.
