Selective T61 with internet programs?

I have a lenovo T61 Intel Core duo T8300, 3 GB, Windows XP installed.

Everything works fine except that I get no connection when you are using firefox, update AVG, Ad-Aware, GG client, torrent, managers even lenovo registration program!

However, I can use the Explorer internet and yahoo messenger. I am able to use my thinkvantage updates when I connect to the office, but strangely, it does not work at home.

I am able to get a connection wifi and ethernet, in different places, so I guess there is no prob with my hardware. I currently use zone alarm and helped those programs as exceptions, but it still doesn't work. I also tried to disable the windows firewall and uninstall zonealarm, but this has not yet resolved the problem.

I have not seen a similar problem addressed by internet. I'm not too good with computers, so I really hope someone can help out me

Thank you!

Problem solved!

It took a few tries to remove NIS. I had to download a norton removal tool to remove it. All internet programs are now working. I'm not too comfortable relocation NIS however...

Thank you!

Ok. Let us know what happens.

In the past, I had trouble with Norton Internet Security blocks access to the Internet for some programs and tells me not. Like what is happening to you. I had to uninstall Norton Internet security, and then reinstall it. I think that has happened twice.

I got so tired of Norton Internet Security, which I removed it from all my machines except the one machine that I use for e-mail.
