Which browser are you using? When did this start? Do you have virus/Spyware protection? Have you contacted either service provider about this? Are you the administrator of this computer? Are any parental internet controls installed?

    I've done all that and still doesn't work, the message box comes up telling me im about to view pages over a secure connection, then when i click ok, it says the page cannot be displayed.

    I've scanned my computer using various software that i've downloaded but to delete all the infections i have to buy the software, which i can't because my computer won't let me

    Do you think re-intalling windows would help or not.

      That's a worry. :o :o :o

      To answer your question, yes a clean install will get rid of the infections.

      First see if you can run an online scan.

      If you can't, see if you can carry out the following steps.
      I guess you have to weigh up what is easier for you, a clean install Vs removing the infections.

      Download, install & update...
      CLEANUP
      Ccleaner
      ANTI SPYWARE
      Ad-Aware
      Spybot S&D
      ANTI VIRUS
      AVG Free (Set options to 'scan all files')
      ANTI TROJAN
      EWIDO (W2k & XP)
      a-squared (aČ)

      Turn off System Restore if applicable. (ME & XP users)

      Run Ccleaner
      Run Ad-Aware
      Run Spybot
      Run AVG Free
      Run Ewido
      Run a-squared (aČ)
      Re-start in Safe Mode
      Re-run AVG Free

      Re-start in Normal Mode
      Turn on System Restore if applicable. (ME & XP users)

      Please, please, please learn to use resources such as [highlight]SpywareWarrior[/highlight] before downloading any old "Anti spyware" app that takes your fancy!
      According to what you've installed (Most of it probably unknown to you), a format and reinstall may be your best option.

      I have the same or similar problem. All of a sudden for no apparent reason I am no longer able to login to my yahoo account from my computer but I can login from another computer. Also, I cannot order anything from my computer I can go through all the steps (like on Ebay) until it gets to the actual final steps of ordering and it will go to a blank page and say it is not available.

      Aside from this, everything else either online or off, seems to work just fine. The only real exception is that when I first open "Word" in any new session it always hangs for a long time at start-up.

      PastorDen, carry out the procedures listed [highlight]in this post[/highlight] and post a Hijackthis logfile in a new thread when done.
      If possible, zip the logfile and attach it rather than post it.
