Hello there :D
So ive come across a problem on my laptop. I can run programs like steam and skype fine, but browsing wont work. I only had /download/download-1455-google-chrome at one point, I installed firefox via USD and the problem hasn't gone away.

I use windows 7, and I've already allowed access to both chrome and firefox through my firewall, I even turned off my firewall to see if it would work but it didnt.

prior to this ive had some bluescreen and random shut downs, It makes me think I have some kind of virus. the blue screens and shut downs are under control and then this arises shortly after. for antivirus i use norton 360 premier, but ive been thinking of switching to windows defender.
PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN! This issue looks far out of my control at this point :(

Hello,

Try this 1.

1) Click on Start --> In search box, type cmd --> Then "CMD" will be

displayed in the search --> Now right-click on "CMD" ---> Select "Run as

administrator".

2) Now enter this command

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

Press "Enter".

3) Reboot your computer

If the problem still exists then temporary disable your Firewall/Antivirus

and check if you are able to open webpages.

Good Luck.
