Malwarebytes.

As far as I know Malwarebyte's is more of anti malware than antivirus... But could you elaborate abit on the problem? You say the firewall wont start, are you able to install another firewall, e.g. AVG antivirus's firewall, and does that error not allow you to use your PC?

The PC works fine. It even says I'm connected to the internet on the task bar, I can not receive mail, and ie gives me "cannot display page". It's like something is in the way of ie and the Internet itself..... In safe mode, all connections work fine. No problems.
