What can I do to make my internet browsers work again?

Question

So, Im guessing viruses or something because my laptop was acting funny and I kept having to go around one thing to do another.. but now most sites won't load on my browser (firefox) and i cant even download internet explorer because it says i have it (but i got rid of it months ago cause it was messing up my laptop) i got free antivirus and spiware, which both ran and got rid of alot of viruses and trojan horse viruses especially.. but still not working.... I really need help, and have too much stuff to save to discs to wipe it, or however you call it... help.. please

Answer 1

You may have adware or spyware hidden somewhere in your computer. The best and free software available (at least for me) is "Spybot - Search and Destroy." It showed ad/spywares around my computer and they delete it.

One thing that SB found was a ad/spyware called "Relevant Knowledge." It didn't erase fully in the process so I had to manually uninstall it via Control Panel. Once it was gone, my computer was able to go to the internet immediately.

It maybe different from what ad/spyware you have in your computer but it normally is something installed in your computer and you just need to pinpoint it and erase it.
