IE will not display websites

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi,
This is a second attempt to get help from this newsgroup. Previous single reply
did not assist me.
I'm hoping some of you folks will be able to help me. Each time I open IE and
try a web address I get the 'page cannot be displayed' or dns error.

Four days ago I was hit with a trojan/adware/spyware. I have used the
following and managed to clean it up, or so I thought.

Adaware (latest version)
Spy bot SD (latest version)
Ewido security suite
Etrust antivirus V7
Hijackthis

I have Flushed DNS
used the WinsockXPfix
done a netsh int ip reset ,
done a regsvr32 re-register of the pertinent .dlls mentioned in other posts(the
only one that did not register was msjava.dll (unable to locate file))
I have reset IE to defaults, disabled third party add-ons.
I have done a repair instal of XP Home SP2..

I also use the Mozilla Firefox browser and that works fine. I am able to
connect to ISP for email and web pages via Firefox and Outlook Express. So I
don't think the problem is connection related.

I usually use Firefox as my default browser but I need IE to download updates
from Microsoft.

I am at my wits end trying to resolve this problem. I hope someone can help.


Alby
