Solve : Can Connect on aim,skype but not browser?!?

1.	Solve : Can Connect on aim,skype but not browser?!?
Answer» Well guys the title says it all lol...I booted up the computer this morning turned on Aol Instant Messenger as well as Skype and they logged in fine. Then I went to check my Mozilla Thunderbird on my desktop and it failed to connect so I tried my Firefox and that failed to connect as well as the Internet Explorer...I called up my isp and they ran the normal tests and they all went ok but still no connection online to my browser. All I have installed is AVG. Im going to try and uninstall it when I get home today and see what HAPPENS. I am also going to see if my Vista drive has the same problems. This morning I only had time to check the XP drive. Any other SUGGESTIONS before I do a system restore?If Vista DOES work, try a System Restore. That's about all I can suggest now. Any ideas what may have causes this problem? (recent downloads, installs, hardware changed, ect...)

(recent downloads, installs, hardware changed, ect...) The only recent update I can think of was an avg update that I downloaded yesturday...My FIRST order of business is going to be to uninstall the avg entirely. Its not just the antivirus its the security suite package. But i'll keep updated THANKS!All right. Try Vista first, then AVG, and then a System Restore.I have the same problem - after installing the AVG update, I can Skype all over the world but I can't browse (neither in FF nor in IE7). I tried the system restore, but it won't revert any changes, I uninstalled Window SP3 (I have Windows XP), I tried repairing my connection, but still to no avail... I'l be glad for any suggestions.Uninstalling AVG helped indeed, but what do I do about my security now...What version of AVG were you using? Disabling AVG link scanner could have helped....anyway!Yes indeed AVG Internet Security update was the cause. I booted up on my Vista drive first before allowing it to update there and sure enough I could suf the web!. So I rebooted on XP and unistalled AVG completly and my net was back running fine. Beware of AVG Internet Security stick with the AVG antivirus instead.
