Hello Computing.net! Ok heres my problem, I run a dual boot Vista/XP. The other night i tried to install Zone alarm on my vista and it failed (dont remember why) but after that for some reason my internet can't go to any webpages no matter what browser i use (ive tried IE, Firefox and Opera) heres the messed up part while i cant connect to webpages im still connected to the net i can log on to steam and myspace messenger Im a gamer and i can even play my online games just fine still but no webpages. Ive looked everywhere for an answer and i cant find anything. Not sure if it makes a difference but while i can log onto messengers and stuff i cant update avg, and even though i can log on to steam i cant download maps in game. Also suddenly awhile ago my AVG on thaat partition reported a PUP called reboot.exe. Plz help
