INTERNET EXPLORER 7/ FIREFOX ISSUES
I have both internet explorer 7 and mozilla firefox installed on my dell and they both work fine except on certain websites such as ebay, myspace, comcast.net, facebook, gmail, and even google internet explorer and firefox both will not load the web pages. They may load a certain part, but will never allow me to log in. I have scanned for a virus using Mcafee and Windows defender-no help. I deleted all the cookies and temporary internet files. no help. Most websites work totally fine, but all the websites i listed worked at some point and then suddenly stopped. The only way i can access them is through a proxy like myspaceunblocker.com, but it's insecure to log in. I think it's a cookie issue, but even when i delete them i still cant load the sites. any help appreciated

The problem is not that web pages aren't compatible with firefox. I was only bringing up firefox to show that the problems with the web pages occur in both browsers. I thought it was a firewall issue or something similar as well but when i turn off windows firewall and mcafees firewall the same problems occur. It seems to have no discretion for web sites. Harmless ones like comcast.net and then login ones like gmail are both blocked. Maybe i should restart my computer after disabling my security software.

You should not be running two firewalls one will be sufficent.
You can try reseting IE.
on the top menu bar go to Tool>options. Click on the advanced tab and click on the reset button. Tis will reset IE without any addons so you may have to load java and flash again. But it should set the browser to a initial install state.
