Is Windows updated with all current critical updates?
Do you have current, real-time antivirus and firewall protection?
Have you scanned for and removed all spyware?
If the answer to any of the above is no, it's past time for a thorough security sweep of the system.

ejn63,
I have firewall protection and I also have antispyware software installed and antivirus, the Verizon Technician had me disable the firewall but not the antispyware software. I have my system set up to automatically install all critical windows updates. According to the virus protection scan I need an up to date program could that be the problem?

klbf,
How can I reset my DNS settings using the firewall or manual reset?

Mex_Carnal,
I turned off the firewall protection and set all the internet options to default, I still cannot access 123greetings.com. Is it possible that the Windows Firewall is causing the problem, I have the option to install a firewall from Mc Afee? What should I do?
