Hello,
There's something wrong with my internet connection:
Internet Explorer doesn't work [PHOTO]
Opera also doesn't work [PHOTO]
But Mozilla and Firefox works fine...
Also I can't update Antivirus & AntiSpyware programs like Microsoft AntiSpyware, XoftSpySE and Nod32.
But other programs like Skype, Ad-Aware SE, SpywareBlaster and various downloaders works fine...
For Internet Explorer I think the problem could be that no matter what website I want to open Internet Explorer is always "connecting to site 200.118.2.218" but I'm just guessing...

The fact that IE wants to connect to that 200.118.2.218 address isn't very good as its commonly a sign of spyware/malware on your computer.

Therefore, please take a trip to our Malware forum to sort this out :whistling:

But I already had a trip to Malware forum couple days ago.
Falu helped me, cleaned up my pc, said that now I'm free of malware and suggested to post this problems here.

200.118.2.218 points to an ISP in Columbia South America.. Are you familiar with it?

You will want to repost to your thread in the Malware Forum.. Or PM who was helping you and ask for it to be re-opened.
