No browsing at all.

i have a laptop with vista on it and its running IE7, All was working fine
but now, i cant browse the internet in any way. I have firefox also but this
too cannot connect. My connection software and network connections BOTH show
that i am connected to the internet. Whether I go wireless or ethernet the
results are the same.
However, MSN messenger signs in fine. And i can browse the computer from my
other one on my network so i know that it is connecting to the router and the
internet too.
I have removed my antivirus and firewall and now disabled windows firewall
too, MSCONFIG and disabled all services , then startup files but still the
same.
BUT, if i start in safe mode with networking ,it works. I have done a system
restore too as well as an INTERNET EXPLORER RESET.
Any help will be very welcome.
thanks
Bryan

it might be spyware hijacking your connection

I have seen this before

download spybot search and destroy and scan your system

http://www.safer-networking.org/en/mirrors/index.html

(select one of the mirrors)

since you cannot download this from that machine, put it into a flash drive
and copy it to that computer...

if you run into problems updating (because it needs to be updated via the
internet) tell me

You are not checking if it is a DNS problem first???

The OP can check for that in a few seconds, so worth doing before doing all
that crap.
