Now go to this page and follow the directions to access the McAfee Internet Applications page.
Make sure the following programs have full, unfiltered access to the internet.
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\VSO\MCVSRTE.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\VSO\MCVSSHLD.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\VSO\MCVSESCN.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\AGENT\MCAGENT.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\PERSONAL FIREWALL\MPFTRAY.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\PERSONAL FIREWALL\MPFAGENT.EXE
C:\PROGRAM FILES\MCAFEE.COM\AGENT\MCUPDATE.EXE
If you don't see a program on the list, add it. I can't tell you personally how to do this as I don't use McAfee products anymore. If you are unhappy with McAfee I can give you some suggestions for low cost or free alternatives which use less resources to do at least as good a job as McAfee does.
Once you finish the above steps, reboot so Spybot Resident is reactivated and see how things work.

I'd like your suggestions as to other firewalls available which might do the trick, preferably free firewalls because I really can't afford to buy one at the moment.
FYI - I'm also running McAfee Virus Scan Professional, Version 8 (which I have absolutely no problems with). Will any of these free firewalls clash with Version 8?
PS: I now know for sure that it is the Firewall that did this because today I uninstalled it, and my computer's running fine now. No internet problems, no other problems.
Thanks for your help!

Firewalls depend on what you want. I use Sygate. If you don't mind a bit of a learning curve I think it is the best choice. ZoneAlarm is also a good choice and is easier to use "out of the box".
Sygate
ZoneAlarm
If you go with AVG and Sygate (the combination I use) I can be the most helpful with any setup questions you have.
