Anyway, first, clear your cache, cookies, and temps to get rid of some junk there.
If it doesn't work, spyware may have changed the way IE displays pages or altered the connections settings. Check to see if the spyware put any proxy setting etc.
If that doesn't work, disable all plugins loaded into IE. There might be a spyware program left behind that is causing havoc.
Finally, if all else fails, kick it, j/k. Just use Sunshine's ideaDemandred, the computer has been cleaned out already, its just left some stuff behind perhaps??
Anyway, the same thing happened to me 2 days ago, even firefox wouldn't display pages. I kept getting "connection time out" or "cannot be displayed" errors. The above steps worked fine.
maybe it has left some stuff there, but wasnt uninstalled Properly? an in result has cleaned out 95% of the spyware but left other Particles of the MyWebSearch bar which cannot Be removed. just by Cleaning ones cache isnt gonna fix the problem, an By easil;y Putting in your Windows CD an reinstalling aint gonna Fix the Problem permantly, the problem will rise its Ugly head yet again if the problem isnt totally removed.
Try Opening IE. then clicking on Tools > general > Settings Button > an View Objects button > an remove the offending Object ?
