I haven't seen that kind of blocked message. I noticed that you have a plugin listed as npsitesafety, which appears to be a feature of AVG. To turn AVG browser add-ons on and off, you could try the Options/Preferences settings in your AVG software.
no that didn't do it, i cant even get onto it by using proxies or anomious site views
Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that works.
If that works then some software on your computer is the cause of the blocking message.
You can also check the connection settings.

If you do not need to use a proxy to connect to internet then try to select "No Proxy" if the default "Use the system proxy settings" setting doesn't work properly.
See "Firefox connection settings":
