You are being hacked when you go the the site.
Download and run AdAware and Spybot to clean your computer of all parasites.
then to to Ms Updates and install all of the security patches.
You can block these sites with a HOSTS file. This is the one I use.
The best way is to block the server from tracking you in the first place
Blocking Ads with a Hosts File and AdShield. Under the Security Tab download
the hosts.zip file.

whyville.com and readysetglow.com can be added and will prevent going to the
sites.
IE 6.
Try this: Tools > Internet Options > Advanced > Browsing
Uncheck the Enable 3rd party browser extensions
If this clears your problem then find out who the culprit(s) is/are with
these tools.

IE works fine for a while and then my kids access/play on certain websites
(namely...whyville.com) and then IE will not open any webpage. The
connection is still active, but everything I try to access gives me the
"Cant find/open page" error. I must then restore my system to the previous
day and everything is fine again.....until that website is used. I have
really been paying close attention to tie down the site that causes the
probs, but readysetglow.com, may be giving me probs also.
