Unable to download update: page never loads. Will not
allow me to access secure websites i.e. bankofamerica,
netscape download, microsoft downloads. This problem just
started and I have tried restore and all the knowledge
base associated with this problem.

Not sure what's happening. HELP Please.
Thanks, Mary
 
Start by clearing the IE cache and see if that resolves it. Open Internet
Explorer, go to Tools, select Internet Options, on the General tab click
Delete Cookies, Delete Files and accept the option to delete all offline
content and Clear History.

In addition to the above, if you are blocking cookies try accepting them.
In IE< go to Tools, select Internet Options, go to the Privacy tab, click
advanced and set cookies to accept and see if you can get in. Note, some
firewalls have their own cookie blocking features and might override those
settings so if you have a firewall, you might want to disable it when trying
to access these sites.

For advice specific to problems with secure sites, have a look at the first
link - for general advice, have a look at the second:
