Computer can't connect to internet EXCEPT with IE

by Ctoptrophobe Oct 30, 2012 2:25AM PDT

My computer won't connect through the internet except with internet explorer,my tablet, cellphone, XBox, and wife's PC are all fine.

Ways I've tried to connect:
Steam, Google Chrome, Malewarebytes update, and AVG free (requires internet to install).

What I have tried:
Changing DNS settings in chrome, running Malwarebytes (No detections), AVG (couldn't install due to "no connection"), Avast (No results), tried installing Ad-Ware (Can't "connect"), and I tried the LAN settings (Detect settings and unchecking the proxy box).

Nothing has helped. Any ideas on what to trywould be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
