I just got rid of spyware or malware on computer,which is windows xp.
I had to use adaware and spybot,but it worked.
But now,everytime i try to go to yahoo,it says "ABOUT BLANK" and page wont open.
I also cant log into my personal banking accts or car insurance info on line anymore.
Is this all connected and what can i do?
thank you.

Spybot also messes with registry. So you might have accidently deleted something important and screwed up your internet. Try doing a system restore before the scan. Or download internet Explorer’s installer from another computer, save it on a USB and try to reinstall IE
Try to install internet explorer again or use some other browser
