After connecting to the internet, I click on Internet
Explorer and it gives me a DNS error. I checked the
connection, hardware, software, etc. Everything's
alright except for the browser. I still receive updates
and communicate on Yahoo messenger, so I know the
connection works.

On the same computer in my daughter's user name, her
browser works! Help!
 
Check your system for "hijackware".

HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) is the
preferred tool to use these days. It will help to both identify and remove
any hijackware/spyware. **Post your files to
http://forums.spywareinfo.com/, not here.**

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
