Can't visit any web site

Hi. This problem could be from your firewall, whether it's windows' firewall
or a third party. Go to IE>Tools>Internet Optins>Security and change your
security settings for internet. Hope to fix your problem.

Take the Measure and Boost Performance test on this web site and it will
require you to install Active X before you can take their test:

It's not a "security setting" but an install ... this test will also tell
you of other any problems your computer may be having.
