I have a Lenovo Y450 64bit which I just upgraded from Windows Vista to Windows 7 Ultimate. I can connect to the internet and go on the web using IE 8 and Google Chrome. However, many of my other programs will not connect to the internet, such as:
Itunes 9.03 (cannot connect to Itunes store - it says to "make sure your network connection is active and try again")
Firefox 3.6 (starts and does not crash, but will not go on any website)
Avira AntiVir 9.0 (It runs but will not accept connect and accept updates)
ThinkVantage (Lenovo's driver updater either shows an error or crashes)
It seems that these problems are connected in that something is preventing the programs from communicating over the internet.
I uninstalled Comodo Personal Firewall, and disabled Windows Firewall, but does does not fix the problem. Again, I can connect to the internet just fine with Chome and IE. Windows Update is also working, and my system time is correct. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Itunes and Firefox, but this does not fix the problem either.
What is the problem and how do I fix it?
Thanks. Below are my system specs:
