Is Anyone Experiencing the Internet Explorer “about blank” page?

January 7, 2010

I am using Firefox as my browser. Yet, every time I try to log on to it, Internet Explorer comes up with this "about blank" page. I try to close it and it simply multiplies itself. I eventually have to manually turn off my computer.

How can I keep this from popping up and how can I get rid of it without manually turning off my computer?

Help with severe internet problems (malware, viruses, spyware problems)?

January 1, 2010

Ok, so here is my problem. I was on myspace looking at a music artists’ photos, when all of a sudden, my anti virus program (Avast) pops up and tells me a whole bunch of viruses are invading my computer. After this occurrence, my internet has been really messed up.

So over the past 5 days or so, I have been virus scanning my entire computer about 10 times, and my anti virus cannot find any more viruses. I have also done anti-spyware scans and I have eliminated a bunch of spyware, too.

When I say my internet has been really messed up, I mean this: My anti virus’ script blocker and all of the other blockers are on their highest settings along with Firefox’s pop-up blocker, and I still get pop-ups, something I have almost never gotten before.

Besides this, when I try to visit websites, my Firefox error console gets riddled with error messages telling me it doesn’t recognize or can’t read a certain part of a website and it says "Declaration dropped."

Also, when I tried to install a registry clean up software, I got a message saying it wasn’t a valid Win32 application or something of that sort. I eventually got one installed, but my internet hasn’t shown any signs of improving.

By the way, when I typed in Firefox’s website to try to re-install it, the website wouldn’t load. It just wouldn’t. Also, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer aren’t any faster.

My computer can still play video games and do almost everything else that doesn’t include the internet just fine, but my internet is just so messed up.

Can someone please help me? My computer internet has never acted this way.

Thank you!!!!!!!!

Can anyone tell me ways to make my computer faster?

Internet help?

December 29, 2009

My laptop has trouble with the internet. When I first start the computer, the internet works great. I use internet explorer. I would like to use yahoo browser but somehow, I can’t download it. I have a CD but it’s corrupted. I tried downloading it from the Yahoo Software website, but it didn’t work. Anyways, if I hibernate my computer, and I use it again, the internet explorer won’t work.
It says:
The address is not valid. For every website, it says that. This problem occurs over and over. Please help me!!!
I tried to use the Windows connection diagnostic but it says
There might be a problem with one or more network adapters on this computer.
Then there’s three options:
briefly: turn on wireless capability – I use a DSL Modem – AT&T
automatically get new IP settings for the network adapter "Local Area Connection" – tried this numerous times doesn’t work
and: a problem with your network router or broadband modem might be preventing an internet connection
Please help!!!
My computer is 3 weeks old. How do I reinstall the adapters? I don’t even know what a network adapter is. Before I used to use the battery but now I charge it whenever I use it. One more thing, recently, like this week, I’m in the middle of browsing the internet, and it tells me my internet proxy server can’t be found or something similar. I’m so confused.

can anyone tell me what?
