When attempting to connect to the Itunes store I get the following error: "Itunes could not connect to the Itunes Store. The network connection was refused." Note: I can connect to the internet and as best as I can tell no other application is having issues connecting.
I have searched through the forum for this issue and have tried all of the suggested fixes. Including the following:
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.
I have uninstalled IOBT Advanced System Care and Malware Fighter. Then uninstalled and reinstalled Itunes.
I have disable the Windows firewall because Itunes was in the exceptions list but I still couldn't connect.
I have downloaded and installed the latest windows updates.
I have checked to ensure the check box using a proxy server for your LAN is not selected.
Also,I do not have Norton or Symantec currently installed.
Any help would be appreciated.
Below is a copy of the Itunes diagnostics readout:
