Guest davidhayter57 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 Well thats how it is. before all of this I didn't know anything about viruses. didn't have any protection or anything. So then obviously I caught a virus on my dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. Actually it was all more like spy ware or whatever. I tried system restoring. Just my luck the last restore point is right after i get the virus so that doesn't work. then i download a free trial of CA virus scan and then get the spy doctor. I ran these in safe mode and now i think i'm pretty much free of infection. now the problem is that i cannot access some websites or some parts of for example i can go to a website like gamefaqs.com butnot a website like 4chan.com also i can go to google but if i try to run a search it will do the same thing it always does, just sit and load. also when i boot into safe mode with networking I can access all internet sites with no problem. I have seen similar problems on the internet but nothing that fits. Can anyone help me? -- davidhayter57

If you want a really solid machine then you should reinstall Windows on a freshly formatted disk.

That is, what happens when you try to access these sites? Do you get an error message? Does your machine make a rude noise?
Guest davidhayter57 Posted July 10, 2008 Posted July 10, 2008 Re: can't access websites after virus clean Yeah i guess i diddnt make clear on what it does. whenever i try to get to these sites it just keeps loading and never gets anywhere as far as i can tell. but recently i got on part of a website that i cant access. i went on the website in safe mode and then shut the computer down but later i just booted my regular stuff up and the internet browser asked me if i wanted to restore my session. i said yes. then i could go around on this site on i think every page except for the homepage, where it i tried it would just load and do nothing.ANOTHER THING i found this myway search assistant B'S in my ad remove. i just now read someething that says this is one of those bad programs. could this be my problem? if so how do i get rid of it? -- davidhayter57
