I just spent 2 days figuring out the same problem, but with a different cause and I'd thought I would post here so others won't waste so much time!
My problem was caused by an automatic McAfee Update on 8/18/12.
Search their site for the details, but the solution was to uninstall and reinstall their security suite.
I never would have thought of that. It was working on my PC, but not on my phone, though I have McAfee on both. I'm kind of hesitant to reconnect it now. Thank you! You saved my sanity!
