Last night...
When I tried to browse the net, none of my browsers worked (I use IE6 SP1, Firefoz .93 and Opera 7.5x) and have a Windows ICF.
My system is fully updated and there's nothing availabe at WindowsUpdate to update my system... AV IS NAV 2004....
But I was able to download fles thru DAP 7.2.... I checked all IE/Mozilla/Opera Privacy related stuffs and set them to default... I even disabled Windows ICF... but nothing worked for me... finally I decided to give up and shut down my PC and go to sleep!!!!
I wokeup early in morning, it was damn early 3AM!!!
I restored my system to 08 Aug 'coz there was a restore point for tht date... It was running fine there... but when I undo and came back to current time again none of my browser worked....

Why????????????????????????????

later I solved this problem, I run AceUtilities and cleaned everything possible throught it... then when I restared my PC and logged back to net, everything's fine.... huhhhh....

But still got tht big why???????????????????????????????? it happened...

Anyone knows?????

Was this any mad gone IFC/any worm/any spyware/any BHO/any registry related stuff/any thing else???????

Well according to me i.. It was a problem related to your ISP and it's a coincidence that when you cleaned everything it began working..

Has happened to me once..
