Whenever I use a search engine, I keep getting the error message "The connection was reset while the page was loading".

I am able to access the internet, but none of the search engines like Google, Yahoo or Bing will work. the page will not load. I get the error message:

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading. 

   *   The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
   *   If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
   *   If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure  that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Your plugins list shows two Flash plugins and other outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks.

  1. Shockwave Flash 10.0 r45
  2. Shockwave Flash 10.1 r53
  3. Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.0
  4. Next Generation Java Plug-in 1.6.0_19 for Mozilla browsers

Flash Player uninstall: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_14157 (this will remove the Firefox Flash plugin and the ActiveX control for IE)

Update the Flash and Shockwave for Director plugin to the latest version.

Update the Java plugin to the latest version.

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.
You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.
