Not sure what is going on here but basically I can connect
via modem to the internet however my outlook express will
not collect the mail it comes up as an error. Also my
Internet Explorer will not visit any sites that have a
logon password and finally aol instant messenger will not
connect. I have Windows NT and similar thing has happened
to my friend's computer and she runs Windows XP Home.
any help would be greatly appreciated...
cheers

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