Please help - Internet access denied probably by a spyware attack

[Manickaraj]

I can browse and download using firefox, opera and utorrent. But I cannot access the internet through IE. It says page cannot be displayed instantly. Same thing happens with GTalk, Yahoo messenger and free download manager. I cannot update my antivirus and antispyware softwares. None of the online games that come bundled with XP work. I ve done a complete virus and spyware scan using AVG v8.0 and Spybot. Somebody please help me..... Please dont suggest a fresh XP install... It is a great pain in the....

Thnaks in advance.......

Disable ZoneAlarm and try. If they work after disabling ZA, give the programs high level permission in ZA programs list.

Checked ur HijackThis log, I couldn't found any problem regarding virus, worm or trojans.

Found U've Zonealarm installed. Check ur settings, if put to High(or whichever is the highest security mode) it may block internet traffic, u need to manually unblock or whitelist the programs which are allowed to access Internet. Check those settings.

As u say FF is able to connect, I guess its already whitelisted; check for IE and others.
