Do you have your PC to accept cookies? What operating system are you using?

go to control panel>>internet options>>privacy>>advance....and you will see if your computer is set to accept cookies..if not just check a green dot to accept cookies and click ok.......you can also make sure all settings are at there default as well >>>security tab>>>>internet>>>local intranet>>>trusted sites >>>restricted sites....make sure these are at there default settings.....later on you will gradually modify settings as you browse around ...at times you will be prompt or asked if you want to go to this site ... if you know its safe click yes and put check on dont show this again.....hope this helps

it does appeared that your are infected with some type of virus and that could be the cause of your problem

so the next best thing would be to repost a hijack log in the malware forum

http://www.geekstogo...a...amp;s=&f=37

give a few days someone will get to you and get rid of your malware

if you dont recieve an answer let me know and ill put you in the right direction

the malware forum is a busy place so only put one post and dont respond to your own post

Is your Java installed and up to date?

Open Control Panel and double click on the "Java" icon. Under the "Update" tab, click on the "Update Now" button.

you could give this a try ...from start >>set programs access and defaults>>click add "n" remove windows components>>make sure msn explorer is checked...even windows explorer or messenger then click next follow prompts

after check this out as well go to control panel >>internet options>>and connections tab>>make sure your settings are ok...automatically detect settings
