I ran into the same issue once, it was the Antivirus software. Some of the software out there can stop your web browser from working. If you can, try uninstalling the antivirus software and check the firewall (if active / installed). You may need to uninstall any firewall software that has been installed as well.

CharlieJax - that's it! Exactly! AVG was the culprit. Google AVG removal tool for best results. Don't use Add/Remove programs. Thanks CharlieJax!
