Hi,
If running a cable modem, dsl modem or router, have you, at some point, shut
everything down for a few minutes?
Or, deleting the History and TIF folders may help:

Try disabling third-party security programs to see if one of them is causing
this.
Norton Internet Security?
See if something here helps:

Or start here

Or make sure that Windows is showing hidden files and is not hiding file
extensions for known file types then check for a HOSTS file at
[C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc] Open the HOSTS file with notepad. If there
are any redirect entries in it you can put the pound sign (#) in front an
entry to disable that redirect. Or you can rename the HOSTS file to (ie)
HOSTS.OLD
More on the HOSTS file at
http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/
and
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
See if there's anything else to try at

Hope this helps,
