Hello, my computer has been acting funny. It's a Dell Inspiron 1545 with Windows 7. A few months ago I tried to connect to iTunes and I am told that my computer can not reach the internet. My McAfee says my computer is running fine but when I click on the McAfee icon it says is can not connect to the internet. I am not sure what to do to fix this, I'm not very computer savvy but am willing to try any suggestions. I am also unable to alter my firewall in Windows bc McAfee has control, but in McAfee I am unable to turn my firewall on to edit what programs are allowed to acress the internet. Do I have a virus?

I can get onto the internet & access internet explorer without difficulty. I am using a router from a DSL line to power my wireless. Our other electronics have no problems getting online either.

Thanks.
