Internet browsers don't work

After installing some updates for windows 7 (I had just done a fresh install) my Internet browsers (chrome and IE) won't work. They wont connect to anything. Anything else that uses the internet will work, like WoW and downloading updates. What happened?

Do you have a firewall other than Windows Firewall?
Did you update to Service Pack 1?

Third-party firewall software is having issues with SP1. Uninstall one or the other and you should be fine.
