Recently, my Vuze, Moyea FLV downloader, and Amazon Unbox (just installed today) are unable to connect to the internet. I can't even complete the Unbox install because I get an error message every time I try to complete the setup. I've gone through my firewall and added allowances, tweaked settings, everything -- I even turned it off to see if the Unbox install would finish properly. It didn't. I still got the error message telling me that it couldn't connect to the internet. Did I break something in my logs? What's happened, here? Trillian and things like that work fine, it's just these certain programs.
When I try to run certain programs like Anki or Second Life that need access to the internet they're blocked with no message from windows, I've tried deactivating windows firewall and other security programs but I always get the same thing. I've tried creating rules for windows firewall that allow my programs to access the internet but it makes no difference. I know it's not my router or ISP because other computers in my house that use the same connection work fine.
In Zune Software, I can't login to the marketplace/social
In Twhirl (a twitter client) I can't login to receive my feeds
In Picasa (A Photo Managing Software) I can't login to upload photos to a web album
When I try to sync the time server, it can't connect
When I plug in new hardware, Window's can't connect to find drivers
And Lastly, when using Windows Update, I get an infamous '80072EE2' error
So, in short, SOME of my programs keep having their outgoing requests or connections blocked. My internet works fine. When I play games it connects just fine. When I use and IM client it works fine. But for these programs...not so much.
And the worst thing about it is that it's effecting more programs. Picasa and Twhirl we're working last week shortly after I installed Windows 7
Anyways, I've tried a bunch of stuff already:
Disabling Windows Firewall, Enabling it with the specific programs allowed through, disabling anitvirus in addtion to firewall, switich the firewall programs, telling IE to auto-detect my proxy (I have none), going thru cmd prompt and resetting the proxy (still don't have one), system restoring to when I first installed the beta (when Twhirl and Picasa worked) only to have them stop working
Oh, and I connect to my network wirelessly through a Linksys USB-G receiver, which gets the signal from a Netgear router, which is hooked up to a cable modem
So, to say the least, I'm stumped. And if ANYONE could help me out here, it would be AMAZING. So, thanks in advance for any and all suggestions, help, tips, etc.
I am working on my daughter's Presario CQ 56-115DX Notebook running Windows 7. It has been running erratically and has a lot of junk on it and no anti virus. I have tried to install several free antivirus programs and also a Revo Uninstaller with both IE, Chrome and Firefox. All Downloads are blocked (or automatically "cancelled") including your TSG SysInfo. I turned off the Firewall but that didn't help. I also did a System Recovery back to 1-30-2013 to no avail.
Yet again my Windows 7, 64 bit program has preventing me opening an attachment sent to me from a trusted source, on the basis that it could be ANNPATpotentially harmful. Can I override this blockage?
Hope posted in correct area. The other day I FTP pc backup files to hosting account. Now IE 9, Firefox and Chrome do not work but IE9 (64-bit) and Maxthon Cloud do. No malware and have internet connection. Filezilla comes up
Connection attempt failed with "EAI_FAIL - Nonrecoverable failure in name resolution".
Win 7 home. I get:"403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied."when trying to get to a ftp web site. Other user account on this machine has no problem.Both accounts are now admin; this (problematic) account was not at first. There is no firewall running, MS or 3rd party. I have added this ftp url to the "trusted sites" in Internet properties. There was a McCaffee app on this account; I removed it 6 boot ups ago.

My problem is that my boyfriend has blocked access to Skyrim, so that I can't play during work hours. If I try to run Skyrim it says: "Application not found". But other than that I'm afraid I know nothing about how he's done it!
Is there somewhere similar to this where I can get help with Windows Server 2011? All I'm trying to do is add Google as a search provider in IE8, and I'm hitting rafts of problems, and not getting even remotely close to success. I go: Tools -> Internet Options -> Change search defaults Settings -> Find more search providers, I get a new IE8 window with a "Content is being blocked" (Url) (and then several others). I don't have a clue what to do about this, so I just close the window. Eventually, I get a webpage that mentions Google with an "Add to Internet Explorer". I click that button, but all I get is "! Error on page"
my account is been blocked i entered the correct password i used the option to rest the account for i forget the security answer which they were asking from me?

I would say 80% of the time I can't access Facebook. When I can I can only access it through https but whenever I click on a link that is just http it will timeout. Other times I can just not access it no matter what. This happens on all browsers. IE9, Chrome, FF, etc. All of them have the same results so this wouldn't be a browser issue. What I have done. My laptop which is a macbook has no issues when connecting through same network.
This would rule out router settings (which I double checked anyways). This should also rule out ISP blocking. I ran walwarebytes and ccleaner numerous of times and it didn't pick anything up. I checked hosts file which it isn't in there. I added *.facebook.com in trusted sites in control panel just for the attempt of running out of ideas. What else could I possibly check and why would it work sometimes through https but not http?
