for my laptop. hmmmm; still any ideas?

Within the last week I cannot view any of these links. It starts to load
then freezes up. I cannot figure out whats going on.

I've done a full system scan with Trend Anti Micro Spyware
.................full system scan with Windows Defender
.................full system scan (actually program directory) with Norton
Antivirus

Nothing has helped. I've deleted some temp files
I've deleted my cookies, deleted files including offline content and cleared
my history, also have reset my PC and nothing works.

Keep in mind that I have been actively visiting the page within the last
month until again, last week.

Here are a couple links:

http://windowsvistablog.com/blogs

and

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/community/default.mspx

Now I'm presently using Internet Explorer 6.0.2900 but I've also tried using
MSN Explorer; but freezes up. I've even tried my "new" laptop but it freezes
up as well.

Again it starts to load the page, then everything is shut down, I cannot
click the home button, I cannot click the X (close) button, I cannot even
rapidly click inside the browser to get a "Not Responding" message; when I do
a control alt delete it says it still is running but I have to go to the
process and end the task.

What I'm gonna do now is try to boot up in safe mode with networking and see
if I can view the page that way, if I can I'll post right away, but if I cant
then I'm still stuck.

Can anyone shed the light on this subject please?

BTW I've asked and other people can view those pages but for some odd reason
I cannot.

Thanks.

So How Did I Get Infected Anyway?
For quite a few people it's by installing Messenger Plus, whose ads for malware don't identify the malware as such and try to convince you that you owe it to the author. See also:

Don't ever do a "default" install of anything. Always choose Custom and see what else is being carried along. Don't install any extras you're not sure of.
