Along the lines of my last thread...still working on this machine. I have an issue and am stumped as to which way to go. I am trying not to reformat the machine again, but it's really starting to look that way.
In the aftermath of the spyware, adware, and virus' that attacked this computer it has lost some key functionality. Big suprize right?
The only issue that I have left that I cannot figure out how to correct had so do with access to certain sites. I can surf most anywhere with no issue, but cannot go to any email client like hotmail or gmail, am unable to navigate to myspace, facebook, or the like, and seach engines will not "go" as it were. I can get to Google, but once I enter a query it just churns. Same with the others listed. I get the taskbar and a "waiting for:url" and then it just acts as if I never tried to navigate there.
I am running a fresh upgrade to IE7 and have also downloaded firefox. Both are acting exactly the same. I have tried resetting the defaults, lowering the security settings and even running without the av/spy program and get the same results.
