Mike,

I am also having the same problems as Jon. I have tried
your suggestion and I still can get to most http:// sites.
The two I can think of right now are
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/disneydollarless and
http://disneyecho.emuck.com

Can you or someone else help me.

Thanks in advance.

Xavier

PS. I have spybot and ad-aware.

Xavier,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK

[more info]
Possibly your cache folder is corrupt:
