Friends,
I am having a problem gaining access to the internet with IE. I am still unable to update AVG 8 for virus protection. I am still able to use internet via Google Chrome, but whenever I try the same with IE, I get the message saying “Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet Site”. I do not know much about computer so can anyone please help me out. I am using Windows XP.

Following may be some reasons for the problem you are facing….

So you can adopt following steps to resolve the issue.
1. Open IE
Tools Tab > Internet Options > Restore Advanced Settings > Reset IE Settings
Restart IE.
2. Run a virus scan to check if there is any problem caused by viruses.
3. Reinstall your Windows again from some good, high quality CD.
4. Uninstall the network adapter
Open device manager > Expand network adapter > Right click on your internet network adapter and uninstall
Reboot. If it does not work try it again and reinstall the driver. You may have to get new drivers from some website.
