Browser Problems
I've been experiencing browser problems for quite some time.Other than netscape ver8.0.4 i can't get any other browsers to work,my internet connection is working fine and i've made sure my firewall would allow these browsers, but pages won't load.I tried running avast to see if a virus might be causing the probem. Avast found viruses,malware,adware and trojans. I deleted these from my computer,however i still can't get the browsers to load pages..I'm confused but thank-ful as to why netscape browser works but others do not.These browsers worked for me in the past.It's been awhile so i don't remember when they stopped working.My operating system is Windows XP & my computer is a H.P Media Center PC.Any advice would be appreciated.Thanks!

You might still be infected. Download malwarebytes :

Or try an online scan by Panda:

Try Tredmicro house call. The java module might work through Netscape.

Are you saying you cannot download Malwarebytes ? It is not a online scanner.
