Shut off anti-virus software, including firewall. Tried all settings of proxy selections; cleared cache, etc...all things advised on this site and elsewhere. Reset Firefox. Quit Firefox and tried IE. Nadda.

Been trying to access some sites and fix the problem for about a month, now. Hell, I can't even access mosilla forums.

Hi Punice

first try to disable JavaScript from : Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Content panel > UNcheck Enable JavaScript.

if the above does not help check with a few malware/virus scan programs for virus. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure to update each program to get the latest version before doing a scan.
