Over the past few days I've been battling with this dang
trojan qhosts thing, and I've regained my search pages,
but now I have a problem that I think may be related or a
result of my cleaning. I've run Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware,
Trendmicro Housecall, AVG, HijackThis, and CWShredder.
After running these I haven't found anything unusual yet
I have a problem accessing many sites within the .tk
domain. Everytime I try to access my site or even
www.dot.tk I get the DNS error. Can anyone help?

Did you look at your hosts files and make sure that domain isn't excluded as
well?
 
Taylor,
You may need to clear your TIF as you may have a corrupt file there.

Close all instances of OE and IE
Control Panel | Internet Options | General tab
Click the "Delete Files" button, when prompted place a check in:
"Delete all offline content", click OK
Click the "Clear History" button, click OK.
Click the Settings button, adjust the TIF size to 50 mb, click OK

Possibly your cache folder is corrupt:
