Inactive Can't access Windows update, IE crashes when going to an antivirus site

[JTC73]

When I try to access Windows Update through IE 8 I just get a blank page. The page never loads. When I try to go to Microsoft Update, I just get error messages.

If I try to access something like AVG.COM, Kaspersky.com, IE will crash. I can visit these sites with no problem using FireFox 3.6.9.

In Windows Safe Mode, I can get to the Anti-Virus sites with both browsers.

I tried to run GMER and it works fine but I get a BSOD in normal Windows mode, in Safe mode it run to completion (nothing found) but when I try to save the log file the CPU just spikes to 100% and never lets me save the file.

I've scanned with Panda AV online, Kaspersky Removal Tool, Windows MRT, Bitdefender and AVG Boot CD's and nothing finds any virus on the machine but IE still exhibits this behavior.
