Hi Guys!!
This is my first post but here it goes:
Since i got my laptop everything was working fine but for the past couple of days Internet Explorer 8, msn messenger, and iTunes can't connect to the internet but firefox can still browse the web. I googled my problem and followed some suggestions I cleared out "socks", DNS etc but still no connection. I made changes to norton but still no connections. I shut down norton blocked the firewall but no connection.
Would be very GREATFUL if someone can help me its becoming really fustrating now =(

I saw that problem before. i don't know exactly the problem. it just all of a sudden fixed itself. and hijak this is for malware. don't worry you don't have malware. this is software related. it could be the wireless. try the guest account

you can try a system resotr to before the problem. or try re installing msn and i tunes. and actually you do know that ie8 is in beta. that means it is not suitable for use like you want it for. install ie 7. you should be good after that
don't use beta programs unless you are using them on a testing partiion or virtual environment
