Hi Michael,
Adding to Gerry Advice you have a Malware infections on your PC and that
preventing IE7? from accessing the Internet beside and cause the Error?.
1- The best is to scan your computer with online scanner from here:

http://www.trendmicro.com
And also for malwares from here:
http://www.lavasoft.com/products/ad-aware_se_personal.php
http://www.safer-networking.org ; for Spybot S&D
Then try to Disable the Add-Ons on your Browser somehow your browser been
hooked by Add-ons or Plug-ins, on how to disable the Add-ons follow this:
Click start >> Control Panel >> Double Click Networking and Internet
Connections >> Double click Internet Options, on the IE Properties window
click on Programs Tab and then click the Manage Add-Ons Button there Disable
the None/Not Verified Plug-ins/Add-ons (You can Renable them one-ny -one
later and see which one will be the culprit and uninstall it or Update the
Add-Ons if it is Legitimate Add-Ons not a spyware plug-ins).
Click On Advanced tab and scroll down under this Option and uncheck this Box:
[&] Browsing
[ ] Enable third-party browser extensions (Req Rest)
Then click [OK] to confirm your Changes and Reboot your machine and see if
the Error goes away or ON.
Also this error can happen if you have a memory is going bad or applications
that are hungry for memory and hoggoing your Memory so you got this Error
message.
2= If all fail download the Hijackthis and send the report to one of many
forums for analysis and troubleshooting:
When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(

It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware. Post

issue.
