My XP system has the internet connectivity. Ping and tracert
work perfectly. No data loss. Newsreader Agent also works fine
as I'm using it right now. But IE doesn't run. It returns the
error page saying:

"The page cannot be displayed
The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web
site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or you may
need to adjust your browser settings."

Sometimes It can load the homepage after a long time. But it
deosn't go beyond that.

I tried Mozilla Firefox. It doesn't work either.

IE on another XP computer on the same home network works fine.
So there couldn't be anything wrong with the network.

My system has Spybot and the free AVG anti-virus installed. I
still suspect some trojan or something vicious did this. How to
fix? What program can fix it?


I just had to reformat my drive. I loaded the new Spybot program with it's
real time protection. My homepage is on Excite.com. It said Excite.com was a
bad site and wouldn't let me access it. I couldn't figure out how to make it
let me see the page so I just deleted Spybot. My homepage on Excite works
fine now.
