I don't know if I am in the right NG but I will give it a try. I can not get my browser to open ebay.com That is the only web site I have this problem with but I have asked others if they can get on it and everyone said they can. I deleted cooking and temp files. Still can't get on. I have used my IE browser and my SBC/Yahoo browser. Neither will let me open that web site. Any one have any idea what I can do?
 
It may be a HOSTS file problem.
Look also for a file named HOSTS (no extension, could be hidden) rename it
OLDHOSTS.

Rule out parasites.

Be sure that you install hotfix 828750 which fixes the exploit that this
virus uses:
