The free version should be fine. It's what I've used. It picked up stuff that the anti-virus software (CA something or other) didn't.

okay...
Go to Firefox - Preferences, Advanced
and look over the connection settings. See if there is anything funky there (are you connecting through a proxy or anything weird?)
