can't access some websites

[andy]

I am having trouble with sertain websites. Their homepage
loads fine but when I try to log on It says this page
cannot be displayed. This happens with both my internet
banks. I have just succesfully removed some
adware/spyware from my pc. This problem started at about
the same time as the adware appeared. I have removed that
but this problem still exists. Please help
..

Try Tools/Internet Options/ Advance Tab set default

still no joy. I really can't figure out what is wrong
here.

 

[DL]

In internet options, delete temp files and cookies.
Under security and privacy tabs set to default
Under Advance set to default and ensure SSL 2.0 , SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 are
ticked
Close IE, restart - see if that helps

That hasn't helped either. I am beginning to get
frustrated now. Do you know what else it could be?
