[Help] Browsers not working

[Vengenceonu]

Google chrome (my default browser) and Internet explorer are not working when opened but my mozilla firefox is. I've tried scanning with malwarebytes, ccleaner and even did a system restore to a point earlier around 12am today and nothing is working. I've also googled to see if i could find the problem but none of them seem to be working.

EDIT1: When i open safari, Firefox stops working and then safari does. This started all today so i guess i'll just system restore to a point earlier this week to see if it fixes it.

Have you checked for malicious plugins installed in your browsers?

What do you mean they "stop working"? As in, they can't connect to the internet? They stop responding and have to be force-closed?

Check your firewall, see if they got blocked for whatever reason. Also, before just doing a system restore, try uninstalling and doing a fresh install of your browsers, see if that will fix it.

I mean they cant connect to the internet

I did an uninstall of the browsers already and the problem still persists. 3 different system restores and still nothing also.

Just deleted my Norton products with their removal tool and everything seems to be working again. My 1 year was up for like 3 days so I guess that's their way of saying renew or die.

i would just do a clean reinstall of the os. It would take you less time to trouble shoot it by reinstall compared to trying to figure it out.
