Thanks for all the input, I have found the problem. The trojan in both these cases made changes to the browser settings. I discovered that instead of being set to No Proxy both Fixefox and IE were manually configured to connect through a proxy IP address. In both browsers the proxy was set to a loopback IP 127.0.0.1
I removed the proxy and immediately it worked.
Thanks again
