My os is windows xp
im using avast 4.5 home edition
i have no other antivirus software running
the browser setting are def not set to off line
i cant ping any websites nothing internet related works

Its as if my computer just doesnt realise its connected to the net and this only started happening after i rebooted after activating with the new registration key

i know that the smtp messages refered to email but they have never come up b4…theres were 3 different messages that have not come up in the past

Thanks for the interest hopefully can resolve this
