Someone help me fix my computer!
It's been acting funny ever since I got it back from Best Buy back in March (couple weeks after, actually). I can't access Google, Ebay, Yahoo main page or Amazon. I've run multiple virus and worm scans from Norton to Zone Alarms and downloaded Windows updates. I even switched browers thinking it was screwed up (tried Mozilla and Netscape). It's obviously something deposited on my computer...probably not a virus because it would've crashed already. It runs fine otherwise, I just can't get into these sites. I've found a backway into Yahoo...so I can get my mail....but no main page. Google is completely inaccessable as well as Amazon. Ebay I can get to if I have a specific address (like an item).
If anyone knows any computer geeks, send them my way!
Thank you,
