I am indeed PG. I can navigate the interent just fine on IE as long as I don't try to log into anything. Facebook or Photobucket etc.

And Chrome just says will not connect.

 

def weird, check the internet settings in Chrome?

 

If you can go online by logging on in safe mode with network access then you have a bug that needs to be cleaned off. That problem sounds strangely like something I had to deal with last year on my desktop PC. Can you go online with the same Ethernet connection using a different computer? That way you'd at least know everything is okay to that point.

I had to put my notebook PC next to my desktop and I downloaded several anti virus, etc., utilities to a thumb drive and installed them on the desktop. It finally cleared things up enough to where I could get on the Internet with the desktop PC and then I ran a few online scans to clear out any remaining junk.

Edit: I just now read the latest updates that were posted while I was typing my reply. Apparently, you can get online, just not log in.

 

I can get online ONLY with Internet Explorer. But IE will not allow me to log into anything - Photobucket or Facebook or anything. When I try to log into whatever, it says Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage. screen, looks like it cannot connect.

I've run Malwarebytes / ccleaner / SUPER antispyware nothing pops up.

CHROME just says

the webspage is not available whenever I try to go to any site.

And I think all the CHROME settings are ok....

 

As previously said ... sounds like you've had an infection and WinSock might be corrupt ... Try downloading and running this tool to fix WinSock matey!

no sorry this is madman talk. Trying to play games on a mac is like trying to have safe sex with a paper bag. Sooner or later you will not use it.

 

Alright well, I did a System Restore to the factory settings. Everything works fine now.
Soooo hopefully it will stay that way.

jpan (hah sorry JP) soon as I find the next solid computer game I want to play i'll be getting a new gaming rig so put your thinking cap on here shortly.

 

Lol. Glad to hear its back up bro

 

I always run ccleaner, malware and antivirus in safemode with network. Update them in safemade with network also.

 

i already know the best one in the $1500 range.
