Re: Internet is up but IE is down - how to fix?

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.

Sometimes? That's impressive.

You need to doublecheck to see if it in fact loads your homepage. If
it's true, that is your biggest clue IMO.

Does it reload your homepage after pressing the refresh button and
waiting a long time?

But it deosn't go beyond that.

Given your prior statement as fact, the question is "what's the
difference between your home page and any other webpage", or "how is
your home page loaded differently than any other webpage".

The slowness is a problem too, but you need to key on whether
it in fact loads your homepage.

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.

Maybe it isn't the network alone but it could be the way the network
interacts with the problem computer.

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?

Sometimes troubleshooting requires simplification. Could be that
those programs are complicating things. If you can't do anything
major like a reinstallation of Windows to help troubleshoot the
problem, consider asking in one of the huge Windows groups.

By the way. Looking at your reply to Paul, the discussion is easier
to follow if you post in context instead of top posting, especially
when asking for technical help.

Good luck.
