Hello,

I have a weird situation which the company that I'm working with can't provide an explanation.

I am trying to log into the following web page: http://www.methodintegration.com/solutionproviders

but it says that it doesn't recognize my username/password in Firefox, IE, Opera, and Chrome browsers.

However, in a virtual machine with Windows 7 32-bit (same OS as main computer), I am able to log in successfully. I have tons of programs on my main computer so I can't figure out which one is blocking it. I have Avast! antivirus on both machines, so I know this isn't causing the problem. I tried uninstalling Spybot on my main machine (since this is not on the virtual) and that didn't solve the problem. I also tried renaming the hosts file to hosts.old and I tried removing all the Spybot entries in the hosts file but this didn't solve the problem.

Is there any way to run a log or determine what protocol that web page is using that something else is trying to block? I have already tried removing all web browsing history, cookies, cache, etc. and it does not fix the problem. Could this be something that visiting the site for the first time was put in the registry with a different user name/password?

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== First time I tried logging into web site.

Did you check the Firewall ? Either HTTP headers get corrupted or cookies get blocked. If it happens with all browsers then security software (or malware) is the prime suspect.

I don't have the firewall turned on for both machines; I only have a firewall through my router (which would affect all machines). I thought it might be caused by Spybot, but I uninstalled it and I still had a problem. Avast is installed on both machines, so this is not blocking it.

Would a web page that uses javascript do anything to the registry?
