help! want to use something other than IE

Hope someone can help me with this. I want to use something other than Internet Explorer. I was able to use Mozzilla for the past few mnths but after it auto updated itself it was no longer able to connect to the internet. I thought it had something to do with the new update so I uninstalled Mozzilla all together and d/loaded an older version. same problem. since then I also d/loaded and tried Safari and K-Meleon and both of those progs also gave me the same trouble of not being able to connect. I'm using Comondo firewall and thought that might have been the trouble so I closed it and tried running all the browsers again but still nothing. I'm still able to use IE but it crashes right offten or freezes up, part of why I went to Mozzilla in the first place. HELP!!!

 

Have you tried checking for malware or naughty things affecting your computer? Maybe something is stopping it from happening. So if you want you could go to http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35407 do exactly what it says and post the logs in the malware section. Also if its not then you can just stay in software and get some help.

 

I have the program Malwarebytes' AntiMalware and have ran a through scan, usually run it once a week. I'll also try going through the form link you suggested.

 

Yeah make sure your programs update correctly and is up to date as well.

 

Have you tried Opera?
And Welcome to Major Geeks.

 

Very easy to see how you got tagged as "Serial Goader". Another good choice would have been "Button Pusher" after the way you go around pushing peoples buttons for a response.

 

Deals with Mozilla. What about the others?
Safari I can understand. Another bad Apple.:-D
K-Meleon I have never tried.
But sometimes Opera will work where others won't. Not based on IE like most.

 

want to thank all that replyed. DomLuc was right it was a firewall setting. Have found a lot of usefull info on this site and am trying some stuff I've read.
