Internet Explorer/No connection?
A few days ago I removed a virus I had on my computer. I don't know what I did, but a window popped up and I saw that my firewall was off? So I turned it on. Then the next day, I couldn't connect to AIM. and now I just realized that I can't connect to Yahoo, and Internet Explorer won't work either. :\ I have Vista, and the little weather gadget stopped working also. Everything worked fine before I tried to remove that virus. It's really frustrating me! Firefox still works though. I've tried adding the programs to the "exceptions" list in my firewall settings but it still won't work. I've tried restarting my computer too.... What's going on? Does this all have to do with Internet Explorer not working or something? I googled the Internet Explorer problem, and all I found were people saying to change the proxy/LAN settings or whatever, but I don't understand any of it. When I try to log into AIM, it says, "failed to connect to proxy server." I tried auto-configuring it but that didn't work. Yahoo says there's a problem with my internet connection, and my little weather gadget thing just says "service not available." And Internet Explorer just doesn't connect. :\
Can anyone help?

Go to [Start -> Run] (or press WinKey+R) and run this:
inetcpl.cpl
The Internet Properties window will open. Go to the "connections" tab and click the "LAN settings" button. In the window that opens, uncheck "Use a proxy server for your LAN". OK everything. It should now be fixed (a restart might be required).
