Acer All In One computer with IE 8 and Windows 7. Some web sites load fine but others don't come up. Tried Firefox and no difference. Had similar issue with previous computer and used Windows Transfer to move evrything off that to new Acer. Seems to be getting worse. Use Qwest DSL hard connection. Can VPN to work ccomputer and bring up the web sites that won't load locally. Have tries variuos scans and nothing is found. For instance can get into US Bank site and Vanguard, but not Tax Act or Fidelity. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

What Anti-virus and firewall are you using? These apps sometimes need to be configured to 'allow'. You could also try compatibility mode to view the web page.

Originally had Norton, then nothing, now AVG. I can turn it off and still have the same issue.

Did you remove Norton with their tool to completely get rid of it?

Is LinkScanner running along with AVG?

I just used the Uninstall tool for Norton. Tried going to your link but it (like many others) doesn't load. It says it is downloading but just sits there and the percent bar never goes past 20%. Yes, Linkscanner says it is Active with the AVG.
