Internet Explorer / IE >> Can't access Internet!
When using my lap top computer (connected to my main, desktop computer, via a
wireless router) and attempting to connect to the Internet, I am getting
either one of the following results:
1) A blank page with the address http:/// (yes. 3 slashes).
2) A 2 seconds flashing of my default site (Yahoo.com) which then switches
over (redirected?) to a long address which starts with(only portions are
provided here):
http://www.hide-link.com/ :/ad.doulbleclick.net..........
That site contains reference to yet other sites.
3) The error message: "This page cannot be displayed"
Nothing I have done resolves this problem inclusing all of my ad-Aware SE
Pro, Virus protections, Spyware Bluster and Virus Protections.
Other details: I run Windows XP, Home Edition SB2, IE6 (IE7 acted the same
way!), I have connection to the Internet since I do receive my email using
Outlook.
If anyone knows why and how to get rid of this malady, please, respond. As
of now, I am out of the Internet on this machine.
Thank you,
Ed.

You might also try re-registering dll files associated with IE.

If you have another browser (Firefox, Opera, Netscape, etc.) can you access
the Internet using one of those. If yes, then I would suggest that a browser
hijack program has been installed on your machine.

For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for
malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you
owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see
what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure
of.

Internet Explorer / IE >> Can't access Internet!
To all of you who answered - THANKS!
I read all of the responses and followed each of the suggestions thoroughly.
It took me the better of two days (including long nights) and nothing helped.
AVG found nothing and so did all thenother suggested tools. I finally decided
to take the advice of Gistcheckin and reregistered the files. Upon restarting
the computer, I was able to access the Internet.
I have no idea whether this is the sole reason the helped solved the
problem. However, not being a "techie", I am not hell bent on finding out.
I just wanted to express my thanks to all of you who took their time and
tried to help. Bless you!
