Hi guys,

I have an XP professional 32 bit SP 2 installed as a 32 gig partition. I
have both IE 7 and Chrome installed and neither are able to connect to
the internet from a normal boot. This occurred during the restart from
when i was uninstalling an outdated norton 360 and installing avira
antivirus in its place.

When i boot in safe mode (with networking) i am able to connect to the
internet fine. I have checked my connection settings and am not running
through a proxy or anything when i do boot in normal mode. I am also
confident it is not malware related as i have, upon discovering this
error checked for malware using my antivirus (avira) and have had the
logs of a number of spyware related programs reviewed. When i try to
connect to the internet the diagnostic error message indicates it is
unable to locate ftp https and http protocols. I have also tried
connecting with antivirus and firewall disabled but that did not work.

I am at a loss of what to do at this point so any help you may be able
to provide will be greatly appreciated.
