For some reason my Internet Explorer 7.0 (I think) is having a glitch. My Wireless router is connected, and I can connect to AOL Instant Messenger but the internet always come up "Page Cannot Be Displayed" on everything I go to. I did a scan on AVG Anti-Spyware and this is what it came up with:

If anyone could help me with this problem it would be great. Oh, and my firewalls are already disconnected...this is a really strange problem. Help would be appreciated! Thanks!

A compact troubleshooting plan for that follows ’s idea of trying a different browser, plus a few quick checks and fixes to narrow the cause.

Start with browser-level checks (these don’t change your network): in Internet Explorer make sure “Work Offline” is not set; clear Temporary Internet Files and Cookies (Tools → Internet Options → General → Delete); disable toolbars/add‑ons (Tools → Manage Add‑ons). Check Tools → Internet Options → Connections → LAN settings and confirm no unwanted proxy is set (uncheck “Use a proxy server” unless intentionally configured).

If that doesn’t help, use simple network tests from a command prompt to separate name-resolution from connectivity, and to repair the Windows network stack:

ping www.google.com
ping 8.8.8.8
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset

If a ping to a hostname fails but ping to an IP works, it points to DNS. Run the commands above, then reboot. When editing system files, back them up first: check the hosts file at C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts for unexpected entries that map sites to 127.0.0.1.

Because tracking cookies or toolbars can be present without being flagged by a quick scan, run full scans with updated antivirus and a current anti‑malware tool. Re-enable your firewall after testing. If a second browser loads pages but IE still fails, focus on removing IE add‑ons, clearing settings or reinstalling the IE update. If network tests also fail, investigate router/DNS settings or perform a System Restore to a known-good point.

If anyone is able to offer ANY advice I'm all for it. I just want to get this problem resolved. All of the other computers in my house are able to connect to the internet, it's just mine that's funny. But mine's the only one with the newest version of Internet Explorer on it. I'm not very good with computers so I don't know what 'ping' is or anything like that. I'm just looking for help in simple terms. Thanks!

Try installing Mozilla Firefox and see if that works. It's available for free download here: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/

If it works, you know your problem is specific to Internet Explorer - let me know how it goes and I'll give you some more tests.
