CANT RUN STEAM* or the internet for that matter either..

Ok. the issue is this.

i usually click or double-click the internet explorer icon in the toolbar at the bottom of my desktop., but now it wont load anything at all, i run as an Administrator & it usually runs then..
but the thing is i was using the net fine the other day, then it cut off on me unexpecantly, now as i said it doesnt run by a normal click/double-click. ive even taken Internet Explorer 9 off and tryed using google chrome and mozzilla firefox too but i still cant access the internet without being an administrator!

Now because of this my steam is still offline, and if i go "online" to update or add more games.. well i CAN'T! because the taskbar icon disappears and doesnt actually load up steam..
how do i fix this? ive tried everything from disabling add-ons to resetting my internet settings. Im using an 64bit OS windows 7 home premium laptop.

windows is fully updated too.
im also using trend micro titanium internet security: which says i have no viruses.
what can i do here? really? besides smashing the laptop in two - and getting a new one?

its redidulous, ok i can work around the internet issue of being online as im typing this now arn't i.. BUT how can i fool steam into working then as well? instead of disappering and not loading or asking me for my password.... Thankyou.
