Nope, I am using NOD32 anti virus, spybot s&d and zoned out. I am only using windows firewall. I am also unable to access microsoft's websites using firefox.

You could try this:

This file will fit on a floppy or thumb drive.

Get a copy of winsockxpfix.exe You just run it and
things should work OK after it reboots your system.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I had tried using the winsock 1.2 fix, but I still not able to surf microsoft websites. Btw I forget to mention that this problem that I am having is Intermittence problem. Sometimes I am able to surf microsoft websites without any problems. I am not sure whether it is my ISP problem or my computer problem. My friend whom are using the same ISP as I did, do not have this problem.

I also had a problem like this,but I was not able to open any of the antivirus,anti-spyware websites, and it was because of some trojan . Post your problem in the HijackThis log and infections removal thread.
