[Guest]

I am having major problems accessing my yahoo and hotmail email accounts. Yahoo just moves unbelievable slow (15 min page on a cable internet connection) and hotmail never comes up. It just tells me that the server cannot be found. I know it has to be my computer or me Internet Explorer because it works fine at school and at work. I don't have problems with accessing anything else online. Does anyone have any ideas. (I don't think it is a virus because I have scanned my computer numerous times and also made sure Norton was updated) Any help would be much appreciated.

Check your system for "hijackware":

You *must* seek updates for Ad-Aware, Spybot, etc., before each and every
use, even "right out of the box". But even then, they can't catch
everything. When all else fails, HijackThis
(http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. **Post
your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ or the Spyware forum at
http://forum.aumha.org/ for expert analysis, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
