I have a bizarre connection issue on my desktop PC; Firefox either takes minutes to connect to a site or fails, Chromeyand IE9 just fail. However Outlook 2010 connects fine as does Norton Internet Security 2012 and Steam. My iphone, ipad & Windows 7 laptop all connect using my wireless network just fine. This hasn't coincided with any major software updates/hardware additions. Initially Firefox would be 'Not responding' more and more until things have got to the stage they are.
System is Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit. After some googling for advice using the laptop I've scanned using Malwarebytes, Norton & the Windows Malicious Software Removal tool. I've also run the WinSockFix program. None of this has made any difference so I am a bit stumped.
The browsers are not set to 'work offline' and are using the System proxy settings to connect. Does anyone have any suggestions?
