Can only access internet in safe mode

[Rmarie]

Hello,

Our computer can no longer access the internet. It thinks it's connected and reports no problems on diagnostics, but is saying "error code: connection refused"

I can access internet in safe mode

I have:

Ran malware bytes and super anti spyware in safe mode. It found a few things and removed them. Still no internet access.

Restored the computer to the 25th, it was working then.

Disabled windows firewall and all other firewalls

Ensured that the box was unchecked and blank in LAN settings on ie explorer

I have tried ie, chrome and Firefox

Uninstalled the latest windows update. The problem occurred right after the update.

Updated internet driver

I'm at a loss

I don't have a Vista OS to test things on at the moment, but I'll help as best I can. Most things should be the same as on W7

You may have to post in the Vista Forums since they have a better knowledge of WinVista.
