I am rewriting this post as no one has responded to it yet and my wording may not be the best.
I can't connect to any URL's from Outlook my email client. This is a new problem. I have used this same program for years, but now it won't open any 'links' that an email might have with it.
I am also using Carbonite and for some reason it won't backup my files automatically (thats a problem for Carbonite to solve for me), so I have tried unsuccessfuly to redo my firewall, and other security settings, but to no avail. Any suggestions?
One thing you might try is just resetting IE is your default web browser, assuming you're using IE. If not, then reset whatever browser you're using to be the default browser.
