Title: Firefox Stealing The Net
Post by: adam.mcg on October 01, 2009, 03:33:53 AM

Hey,
I desperately need help with this,
for some unknown reason I can only surf the web through Mozilla Firefox, and nothing else.
E.g. I cant use Internet Explorer, or get cd information with windows media player or use the dreaded itunes.


 It all just comes up saying the internet isn't connected.

Does any one have any idea why?

You need to provide more information.

Were you ever able to use IE or iTunes or did this just start recently? If it just started, is there anything new with your system (new hw, sw, virus, etc)? Have you run full scans with both your AV and either MalwareBytes or Super AntiSpyware (if not, do so now)? And any other relevant information.
