Strange problem with IE

[rockfnbttm]

I can't figure out what's wrong with my IE. I'm using Firefox right now, but I miss my IE. Every website I try to connect to, it gives "The Page Cannot Be Dislpayed" message. Every URL I type in automatically turns into "http:///" and the page just constantly refreshes itself. I've scanned for viruses / spyware, cleaned everything up. Is there an option maybe I accidently switched or something? Anybody ever heard of this?

Thanks

Also, just saw in the toolbar, it comes as Invalid Syntax Error, if that helps any

rockfnbttm,

Iam afraid you didn't scan and fix all of them. You still have some spy s/w left. Get into safe mode and open msconfig to check if there any wierd entries. If so , download 'Hijackthis' and post a log in the 'Hijack' forum in the Virus section. Some spyware escape the scan algorithims used by these protection tools. You can't say for sure that you are 100 % clean from these spy/virii s/w.
