I am experiencing a problem when closing internet browsers. Be it IE, Chrome, or anything else, I experience the same problem. Sometimes when I close a page or tab of a browser, the window closes, but the process keeps running. Normally I would be fine with a stray process running, but when a browser process keeps running after I close it, I cannot connect to the Internet from the computer I'm on. At all. Pages won't load, Steam won't go online, I can't send or receive Skype messages, absolutely nothing that involves the Internet will work, and the shortcuts on my desktop go inactive. When I mouse over them, they don't become highlighted, and I sure as heck can't access whatever they're shortcuts to by clicking on them. Now, I can sometimes use a short-term solution to this, as I can manually close programs with task manager. But sometimes, the processes will not close at all. They either simply do not close when I hit "end process" or "end process tree", or they tell me that access to close the process is denied. I need help, and soon!
