Before I start I must say that I know pretty much nothing about computers, so here goes;

For the last 2 weeks I have not been able to get onto any sites that mean logging on, ie: my ebay acc, my banking, msn messenger etc. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. I have checked for viruses but seems ok. As you can tell I have managed to log on here and also yahoo.

Any tips plz plz plz leave in " talking to a complete idiot" language.


ty so very much

Check your system for spywares too with Spybot.
Have you installed recently SP2? I had some problems not getting in secure sites after installing it.

wow, i just downloaded spybot and i found 59 entries of cr*p on my pc. maybe that was why i kept getting porno pop-ups, grr

I have done spybot, found 23 bad "thingys". Still not able to get onto bank,ebay etc. I don't know about SP2 as my kids download things. How did you rectify your prob? ty so much for help so far.

Since you are able to access the wesite, we derive that Internet is working fine...

Try this:

Check if Username/Password is in proper case...I.e Check for the CAPS Lock button on your keyboard...

Goto file - > Work Offline ...It should be unchecked

If still it does not work, we shall try something else
