Hopefully someone can help with this problem.

My internet was working fine until I upgraded Firefox the other day to version 1.5. Now firefox won't load at all. Internet Explorer finds Google (my home page) if I click refresh and I can then do a search but although the results appear I can't then get a link to a chosen page and I get the page cannot display message.

I have done a system restore and also deleted the new version of firefox but with no improvement.

Can anyone offer any suggestions?

When you say you "deleted" Firefox, was it through the Control panel and Add/Remove?

You may want to visit the malware forum:

But if you're confident that malware is not the issue, in IE I would dump all the temp files, and reboot, then consider a repair of IE

Thanks to you both Mile Runner and Johanna for taking the time to reply.

As it happens I mentioned the problem to a friend who told me that the problem was likely to be with the internet connection. The icon in the toolbar indicated that I was connected and when Google loaded I thought this confirmed that I was. He told me however that Google was "loading from cache". As a novice I didn't know it could do that but when I rebooted the wireless router as he suggested everything was working ok.

Hopefully it will stay that way!

Thanks again for the replies.
