It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.
If you did not create the file, then you may have parasites, or you are
using a web accelerator program that would be causing this problem.
Run AdAware, spybot and CWShredder again with the latest version/update.
Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions
If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.
Let AD-Aware Scan your system for advertising Spyware

and:
SpyBot-S&D

p.s Reset the 3rd party browser setting.
More: This may be caused by a third-party program (adware, spyware,
parasite).
Get AdAware and SpyBot and run them both. Keep them up to date.
