So, ok, if you're getting the name/pass on my link, that means you can =
surf sites with other ports. Wondering if port 80 is being blocked =
altogether.
Try entering a web address with the port number included in the line. =
You do that by following the site address with a colon and port number. =
For example, try going to Yahoo by clicking here:
http://www.yahoo.com:80
Let me know if that works.

Sorry about that, it was your link that got asked for name and=20
password. I have disabled Panda and tried accessing websites, both with =
IE and Firefox. It doesn't change anything. Mostly Firefox just says=20
it's loading.....forever and IE gets to page not found or page cannot be =
displayed. Also for a couple of weeks before this happened, after I'd=20
been online and using firefox or ie for a couple of hours, they would=20
decide that they couldn't find anything. ie: I would click a link on a=20
website to take me to a different part of the site and I would get an=20
error message that that part of the site could not be found. And=20
another piece of info that I forgot to add was that I was trying to do=20
windows update (within a day before I couldn't get to any websites) and=20
firefox decided it was a dangerous operation and blocked it. I don't=20
know if part of it got downloaded and caused this or if it has anything=20
to do with this.
