Vista - Everything that has to do with internet has stopped working !

hi all ! Im in a horrible situation. I was away for a few hours and when I
came back everything that has to do with internet tells me that there has
stopped working (IE,messenger,mirc,Azuerus,etc.) I dont know what its wrong
with the computer, everything was working before I left. Nobody installed
anything.

I already did a clean boot a network boot and nothing.

Also I did a virus scan and nothing happened.

What can I do ?

Thanks!

Hello I forgot to tell that Im able to browse internet with the 64bits
version, but everything else fails.

Thanks!

Hi,

Just trying to help based a wild guess,

Did you have the firewall on? If not, enable it and add those programs to
allow list.

If it's already on, also add those programs to allow list.

I am guessing this because I did experience (and others reported too) that
even firewall is off, it is still functioning, same as UAC, in some cases.
So try manually add those programs to allow list.

Good luck and hope this helps.
