Internet Explorer Problems

Hi,

I am on NTL internet and am having problems opening web pages. When I click on the NTL icon and connect to the net it connects ok but will not open any web pages. If I type in a web address in the address bar it comes up with an error saying 'internet explorer cannot open the search page'. I have tried to reinstall NTL and internet explorer but hasn't worked. Could some of the settings be wrong??

First are you certain you are actually connecting ? If you are certain then lets have a look at this if you can accomplish it..

First please get Spybot S&D to clear out most of the spyware.

Short tutorial and download link here:
http://tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/

Fix everything SpybotSD labels in red.

Then after reboot:
Download 'Hijack This!'. http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log, load it in Notepad, and copy its contents here. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't fix anything yet.
