Having problems with programs accessing the Internet

Ok, Since I've installed ESS Its been giving me a lot of problems with either programs trying to use the internet and or programs like DivX being able to run making it stuck on "Connecting..." .

I've tried to use interactive mode but it just blocks everything, no access to FF,IE, nothing. I've tried to add programs to the trusted Zone or whatever its called rules and zones, that doesn't seem to work either, I play a game called ArmA 2 which has a lot of updates for a mod, but I can't update since the program I use to connect to the server for the downloads "Can't Connect." Its Addon Sync 2009.

Can anyone please tell me how to fix these problems? I've tried to use other methods from people that have had similar problems but my computer is special and none of it decides to fix it.

 

place your network in Trusted zone and try Automatic mode

 

A bit more specific please?

 

Windows XP SP3 and I've used McAfee and AVG
