[taekwondo]

hi all. this is my first post on here. im a beginner with computer repair so please bear with me as im at my wits end with this.

i am using vista home premium on a fujitsu siemens laptop. since monday 16th nov, i have been unable to get onto secure sites, ie online banking, paypal, my aol broadband account. when i go on paypal, i press the log on button and nothing happens. the screen stays the same and its as if the log on button doesnt work. when i go on online banking it goes very slow. the progress bar stops half way preventing me to log on, but the rest of the site works immediately when i press it. same for the aol broadband account.

what i have done so far:-
1. deleted cache
2. deleted cookies
3. configured modem to run at a faster bandwidth.
4. done the winsock thing on command prompt
5. tried to do a system restore and that fails half way through.
6. installed a new independent browser, firefox - still the same on there
7. taken off current antivirus and tried without - still the same
8. installed a brand new antivirus trial with nortons - still the same.

its not a problem with the area as i managed to use someone else computer on the next street and there was no issues with theirs.

can anyone suggest anything else that i can do. i rely on online banking and paypal.

please please help.

thanks in advance.

hi thanks for that. i have tried all that and it still wont work.

[Phantom010]

Have you gone through all pages of the thread? There are quite a few suggestions in there.

[taekwondo]

yes i have. none of them have worked for me. i have now uninstalled and reinstalled aol but that hasnt worked either.

[Phantom010]

Not sure if I'll see anything but it can't hurt...

Please click here to download and install the HijackThis installer.

7. taken off current antivirus and tried without - still the same

Was that Norman?

[taekwondo]

Norman was on when i first bought the computer a year ago. but i thought i managed to get it all off. i have just uninstalled nortons using the full uninstall program.

[Phantom010]

Try this Norman Uninstaller.

[taekwondo]

i clicked on it and ran it and it said "Cannot find any Norman virus control installed".

[Phantom010]

Then, you can at least uncheck the entry in your Startup list, using msconfig.

Reboot and try browsing again.

[taekwondo]

i have unchecked the entry, done a reboot. still cannot access secure sites.

[Phantom010]

Have you tried resetting TCP/IP stack from the command prompt?

netsh int ipv4 reset reset.log

netsh int ipv6 reset reset.log


Reboot.

[taekwondo]

sorry for delay had to go out. thanks. but...

just done that and rebooted but still no change.
