"xxx" is not set up to establish a connection on port "world wide web service (HTTP)" with this computer.

[NicholasGrin]

So, this has been going on for quite some time now.
Can't connect to download.microsoft.com, or download.mcafee.com, to get updates for anything (i really need mcafee updated).
It just tells me ""download.mcafee/microsoft.com" is not set up to establish a connection on port "world wide web service (HTTP)" with this computer.".
How do i fix this?
I've read up on other forums for solutions, nothing helps.
Yes, i have had Norton on my computer.
Yes, i got rid of it with the removal tool.
Yes, i have got rid of McAfee with the removal tool as well (until i fix this problem).
Yes, i'm on an HP G60 Laptop with a wireless connection that has no problem connecting to anything else.
Please help.

Such wireless internet connections usually are neither strong enough nor
reliable enough to update your computer.

Unplug (remove) then connect to the internet directly via a cable or ADSL
modem (e.g., at a friend's home or your local library). Now open Internet
Explorer (only) to http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com | Select CUSTOM and
scan | Install any Critical Security Updates offered (e.g., KB980182). If a
Root Certificates update is listed in the Optional Software updates category
on the left-hand side of the scan results window, install it to take full
advantage of IE's enhanced security.
