Re: The page cannot be displayed

Running Windows XP. Using browsers: Internet Explorer, Farefox. Accessing
web pages fine, but all of a sudden the ability to access web pages (by any
of the browsers) fails with the error message "The page cannot be
displayed". The Internet connection seems to be fine -- I can still receive
e-mails and send them out. To restore my ability to browse web pages, I
have to re-start the computer -- and everything would be fine again for some
time (for hours or even days), and then again this behavior re-occurs...
This is going on for about 2 months already. Any idea, suggestion,
advice?.. [The computer is virus free] Thanks!


I would guess that there's a malware infection.
So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
