OK, I finally figured it out
I unplugged my modem and wireless router , reset the privacy settings to default in the browser, then plugged verything back in and restarted my computer. All is fixed and running well now.
I had it set to medium high security instead of medium and that was all that was wrong. I thought I had tried to change that earlier but I guess not. Oh well!
Thanks to Richard and E-Liam for your help, I sure learned alot in the process.
