internet browsing re direct problem

[Arjun]

Hello
When I go to a website like mail.live.com it takes me to either
Google.com or gives a 404 error. I get the same problem with Firefox.
I connect through a proxy. Some sites work ok like Google.com.
On other computer it works fine with the same settings.
I tried removing temporary internet files and cookies.
What should I do?
Do I repair windows xp? Or reinstall ie7.
Thanks

Run several anti-spyware checking scans. This sounds like it can be a
"hijacked" problem.

Make sure that IE is not using a proxy and is using your home web site
directly.

Defender is not enough. Look at:

Ad Aware
Spybot Search and Destroy
Spyware Terminator
