Cannot view webpages...trojan virus?

[Peter Entwhistle]

I recently changed ISP and attempted to connect via the
ADSL USB modem, the connection to the internet is
fine..however cannot view any webpages using IE6...I've
pinged certain sites and get a response.
Typing the address into the bar returns a "page cannot
displayed error"...the DNS settings aref ine so I know
the modem is working properly.

After just checking a few forums it's suggested this
could be the cause of a hijack or spyware problem, I did
a scan and revelaed a trojan virus on the harddrive. (not
sure how it slipped in - using McAfee firewall/antivirus
and often run adaware too, could adaware remove essential
parts of IE if they were corrupted?)

The Trojan has now been "cleaned" though I still cannot
view anything using Internet Explorer.

Anyone help? I'm going crazy!

thankyou.

I must add, that this problem is very similar to Dave
Tellings posted below my post.

(without the trojan part)

The details about windows trying to open the page etc...
