Hi,

I found emails with your addesses on them when searching Google on "The 
connection was refused when attempting to contact".  I thought maybe you 
had discovered the solution since you got the problem.  Mozilla has been 
working fine for me until I did two things: 

1.  Installed Norton Anti-Virus
2.  Updated my XP Windows with all of its suggested updates a couple of 
days ago when the worm hit.

Can you direct me someone who could help, or do you have suggestions?  I 
cannot access most websites requiring an ID, Kazaa does not work, etc. 
and I keep getting that message "Connection refused..."

Thanks,
Bob
