I used to be able to search from the address bar. Now I
can't and I always get the PAGE CANNOT BE DISPLAYED
window. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

Be sure that you install hotfix 828750 which fixes the exploit that this
virus uses:

Or,
There's a good possibility that this is being caused by a third-party
program (adware, spyware, parasite).
