AOL loads Explorer no , Chrome no

Good Morning Techies !

Wonder if any one can help me with this one

Can access the net thru AOL ( as I am now ) but Chrome and Explorer will

not page load at all ( which means AVG cant update files and cannot

access Ebay Turbo lister either )



Seems that I can access these for a while if I disconnect ( reset ) the

Negear wireless router , but after a few hours they become unavailable

again


- any thoughts or comments appreciatted

    The best thing that you could do is to remove AOL using decrapifier available here

    AV programs don't update using browsers!
    :doh: Blue text on this forum usually signifies hyperlinks, so click on them!..:wall:
  • thanks - looked at the web page ( again there is an update option ,like AVG and Spyware Doctor that will not / unable to connect to the server to update )

    if I remove AOL 9 how could I access the net if Chrome and Explorer wont load ?

    ( and have an email address ? )

    Sounds like your machine is infected - read the malware/spyware removal sticky.

  • thanks again - trouble is all the malware/spyware sites require Explorer to enable download ! ( catch 22 ) I use AVG , Advanced System Care and Adaware to scan my machine regulary though and remove anything they find

    ??
