Webpages won't load

[Tyler91]

 Ok so about 2% of what webpages I try to load actualy do load.. the computer was bought yesterday. I'm pretty sure Norton has nothing to do with it.. I have tried Firefox, IE, and Netscape and all load the same pages this is about the 50th help site I have tried and the only one which has loaded.. help?

What firewall are you running?  Even though the computer is new, I'd go ahead and download Spybot Search & Destroy and maybe Ad-aware, install them and scan your system.  Never know what all's loaded on a new system.  I think I'd also download CCleaner.

First make sure all updates are applied, then try this in IE:        
      
1. Start                  
2. Settings                  
3. Control Panel                  
4. Internet Options                  
5. Security tab                  
6. Reset all 4 security zones to Default                  
      
1. Start                  
2. Settings                  
3. Control Panel                  
4. Internet Options                
5. Privacy                
6. Restore 1 Default button                
      
1. Start                  
2. Settings                  
3. Control Panel                  
4. Internet Options                  
5. Advanced

You may need to do the following as well                  
      
1. Start                  
2. Settings                  
3. Control Panel                  
4. Internet Options                  
5. General tab                  
6. Remove cookies, temporary files and history

Are you sure you are virus/spyware free? If not, have a read:

If that doesn't get it, consider uninstalling Norton, at least until this is resolved.
