Verizon Email mysteriously stopped working

I recently had issues with my work computer, which I mostly solved already (assuming this problem is a reminisce of it still though). My problem is with my email connecting to the server. Obviously I have re-checked all the settings, servers, ports. passwords and etc. It was working just fine, then one day I come in and I cannot send or receive anything through my Verizon email in Outlook (other email accounts set up in Outlook work just fine though). Also strangely enough, if I try to log into the Verizon website to view my mail or account settings it will display the Verizon home page and all others sub pages, but if try to log into my account, the dropdown where I would enter my username and password, just wont display. The dropdown will "drop" but it is just a blank white box, prohibiting me to enter anything and log on. See attached photo1. This "blank dropdown" will happen on all computers in my office network (only a total of 3 in this small network). On my home computer, I can access my Verizon mail with Outlook and log on the Verizon website just fine. I have not tried setting up my account in outlook on other computers on the network to see if it will work on them.


My previous problem, as stated earlier, is still to be determined as rather a hacker invading my computer or a sneaky virus acting like a hacker. A brief explanation of what was happening is as follows: I come in one day and all my icons on my desktop are gone. I eventually discovered that they were moved to the recycle bin. I come in the next day and a lot of my software titles were now uninstalled. The following day my computer is suddenly password protected as well as 2 new users added to the login screen. One user named "Hack" and the other named "Lucas" (both also password protected). Through a lot of goggling I find a way to reset my logon password and gain access to my computer again. Nothing else seemed "wrong' with my computer once I regained access (besides now not being able to access my email), so I deleted the other new users, ran MBAM and added my own password to my account (previously without password). Now would be a good time to mention that I often use Remote desktop to access my computer from home. I know... using remote desktop without password protection is an open invitation for a hacker.

Now, with that back story of what was happening with my computer, is there any suggestions as to why my email is not working suddenly? Its almost like the Verizon POP and SMTP mail servers are being "blocked". Virus scan with MBAM comes up clean. I briefly looked at the firewall settings, and didn't find anything related to outlook or Verizon specifically, but like I said I only briefly looked and don't know how to specifically search for something in particular. And also, the problem that I cannot log on to the Verizon website from any computer in the network is baffling. I checked the router settings an nothing seems to be changed on that. Suggestions?

First of all right clicking the blue circle only pulls up menu bar options as shown in Capture1. Capture2 shows the Active X unchecked under the safety dropdown menu. Capture3 shows how its still "blank" after being unchecked. I just noticed something else however. if the page is up and loaded for a few minutes and I try to log in again, in the drop down I get the "This page cannot be displayed" message as if you are trying to open a web page that does not exist. This is shown in Capture4.

I appreciate your help in trying to solve the website issue, however my Verizon email not working in Outlook is a greater issue at the moment. However, this is just a hunch, but I do feel that the two are related somehow so fixing one may fix the other.

I did a "Reset' like suggested but the problem persists. I did not find a "Advanced Protection Mode" but there was an "Enhanced Protection Mode" that was unchecked. I tried checking it but no difference.

I do have more information though. If you view the Verizon page, next to the Sign in/Register dropdown I am having problems with, there is a link to switch to Spanish. if I click that, it obviously reloads the page in Spanish, but the dropdown is working correctly. if I switch back to English, it goes back to being blank.
