Problems with IE & Firefox

(1/4) > >>

About 2 wks ago, I uninstalled Kaspersky Internet Suite and installed Norton 360 in its place.  At the same time, I set up a wireless router.  After that, I started noticing that my browsers (IE & Firefox) were no longer behaving the same.  The problems were as follows:

1) Firefox:  Hangs a lot, many of the links on my Yahoo homepage no longer works, many of the video links from Yahoo no longer works

2) IE:  Does not hang like Firefox, but exhibits the same problems with the links, both video and non-video

I ran Windows Repair, but that didn't help.  I uninstalled Norton and directly connected the modem to my PC, but that also did not help.  I am currently using Chrome which does not seem to exhibit any of the problems that the other two are showing, but I would really like to get back control of my main browsers.  Can you help me with this?

Thank you,

Max

Have you checked to see what addons got installed in IE and firefox?

In addition to Shane's advice above, did you run the Kaspersky removal tool and the Norton removal tool after uninstall?  Both of these AV's leave behind an awful lot of crap that you need those tools to remove.  See it all the time, especially with Norton.

That's another thing I did.  I ran tried running both browsers with all addons turned off, but it made no difference.

Shane:
What exactly happens when you click on a link?
