Certain websites that work for others won't work for me.

At first I found out that this was because of a virus. I
got rid of the virus and was fine for a day. Now it's
happening again and my AVG scanner can't find any viruses.

I know for a fact that these sites work. I can access
them from my other computer.

Anyone know what could be causing this? Or how I could
fix it?

Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS
