I had the same problem a while back. It just closed down when I tried to log on to the Internet -- no error message. It worked for me. Though it did also work for someone I told who was trying to play online games on another site, and receiving an error message.
It is worth a try. It's completely reversible and won't harm anything, other than a remote possibility that it could interfere with some things while unchecked.
Let us know how it works. If not, maybe someone else knows another way. Good luck.
