What is wrong with my internet connection?

It works fine when browsing and downloading things etc but when i try to use programmes that require connection like itunes store or google earth it says check internet settings even though i am online, ive checked all my firewall settings and there fine, also im using Vista and when i intall new updates the internet doesnt work then so I have to do a system restore and ignore the updates. same goes for when i try to uninstall norton or avast i cant use internet explorer yet it says im online and i can use msn messenger etc

Vista is extremly buggy, you might want to consider windows XP untill the bugs are patched for Vista.

disable firewall and try
My computer does that too on occasion, and used to do it a lot on Limewire.



I can't help you much, but have you tried the option of "connect" when you are in itunes?
check your proxy server or ports it might be that you have spyware an they changed you dns and are rerouting . So they could get your info an install more spyware or wat ever they do just check your setting an make sure they goto port 80
Based on just your question, it seems you have too much protection. Norton, Avast, Windows Defender and a firewall. Sometimes, too much protection causes problems. Unless you are a secret government agent or download a lot of snarky stuff (like porn), try toning down your protection. Delete Norton, its a memory hog anyway, and adjust the security levels on your other programs to as low as you can live with. If your concerned with security, save your important files to a flash drive or external hard drive that's password protected.
