I use AVG I had something sneak in and i erased all of my temp files and cookies trying to get rid of it....so I was getting on explorer before I started deleting stuff. I think I need to put something back to regain access http://forums.techguy.org/general-se...port-80-a.html
these people in the above link seem to have had the same problem but I cant figure out what to do. At the moment I am running a McAfee scan of my whole computer that a friend told me todo.

What is the make and model of your router? It should say on the sides or bottom of the device.
