I am at a loss to find a solution to this problem. I cannot get online with
IE7 or IE8. Firefox works fine along with most other programs that require
internet access. I have tried uninstalling IE, using a different version,
deleting all add-ons and cookies, resetting default settings. I've scanned
the computer using a couple different virus scanners and scanned using the
Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. Nothing has worked.

Any suggestions?

• Which version of the Windows operating system am I running?

• Is my PC running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows?
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/find-out-32-or-64-bit

Always state your full Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3; WinXP 64-bit SP2;
Vista SP1; Vista 64-bit SP2) as well as your current IE version (e.g., IE6,
IE7, IE8) when posting in an IE-specific forum or newsgroup. Please do so in
your next reply.

What anti-virus application or security suite is installed and is your
subscription current? What anti-spyware applications (other than Defender)?
What third-party firewall (if any)?

Has a(nother) Norton or McAfee application ever been installed on this
machine (e.g., a free-trial version that came preinstalled when you bought
it)?

No but I'm having the same issues so I wonder if you use AVG?
Do you have multiple users on your system with others beside the current user still logged on?

I did use AVG, but replaced it with Microsoft Security Essentials. I only
have one user on my system as well.

This happened to me on Windows 7, MS Support tried a load of things
such as unintalling and re-installing IE but what worked for me was
this:

netsh winsock reset

....which I found eventually through Google.

I didn't (and still don't) use IE that much, but it was really
frustrating whilst it lasted so I hope this trick or something else
will soon fix you up.

Re: IE does not connect, but Outlook, Firefox and Google Chrome

WinXP SP2 or SP3?

Had the Norton free-trial or subscription already expired before AVG was
installed?

Was the Norton Removal Tool run before AVG was installed?

See...

Can I install Microsoft Security Essentials [or any other
anti-virus/anti-spyware application] to clean up my already-infected
computer?

Thanks. I'm trying to find some common cause. I also am running XP SP3 and
also have no problem with Firefox or even IE7. Please post here if you find
a solution.

Thanks for that. I won't bother replacing AVG with MSSE as was
recommended.
