It says my internut settings are messed up and it cannot access the internut ...

Maybe that's why in Control Panel | Java almost all the things you can change say "only advanced users should make changes here, because it can f**k up your machine."(?)

Removing/uninstalling Java might let the computer revert back to letting the browser control web access(?) or you may need to reset browser settings. If necessary, remove Java, and then you might run through your browsers' controls and look for "restore Defaults" buttons. Since you've probably made other "preference" settings, you'll then want to trim things up, but starting from default settings probably will be easier than trying to back out things from where you are now. If you figure out what to "change back" it will probably be by accident, working from your current position.
