Online, but can't browse?

I have a PC that connects to the internet without a
problem (cable connection), but it cannot browse web
pages, connect to MSN, AIM, or anything. It can,
however, play games online. Any help is appreciated.
(Reply via e-mail or here)

The PC is running WinXP, it is on a LAN, and has only
recently been acting up (other PC works fine).

Thanks

I highly recommend using HijackThis to identify and assist in the removal of
these bad guys. **Post your files to http://forums.spywareinfo.com/, not

NB: If you have ever downloaded HijackThis or CWShredder, it is urgent that
you upgrade to the latest versions before using them again. Due to a new
variant of the CWS Trojan, using either HijackThis or CWShredder on an
infected Win98 or WinME computer may lead to severe damage to that computer.
You must update to the very newest versions of these programs before using
either of them again, and you should get a new copy of CWShredder before
each and every use.

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

Thanks, I just downloaded hijackthis, ported it to the
2nd PC, ran it, got some interesting results, and posted
the log file to the spyware forums. Awaiting some
answers now. I'll post here when I get 'em.
