Ok I only use IE or Firefox for about 5 to 10 mins after startup/reboot before it stops working on me. Now I can still you aol instant messanger but no http software. This whole thing started when zone alarm had a major crash. I tried removing it all and thought I had but the problem is starting again. Ive ran spyware antivirus i ran regedit and cleared all internet cache and files. I just dont know what is causing it. Any suggestions?

Hi Rowley1001, have you been able to take your computer into safe mode with networking to see if you can surf in there?
