Sorry,
I just thought it would save time to answer everyones problems at once.
My problems are:
I'm having a Network error unable to read url from host g.msn.com: connection reset by peer

I have done the same things as the previous people, Adaware, etc. I have now done what you said, downloaded hijack this Here is my log. Would you check to see where my issues are? Also, after I've searched and clicked on one site, I go back and click on another site, but the original site keeps popping back up or other error messages appear.

One last problem. After I have been searching usually for about 5-10 minutes, I get an x inside of a box where all pictures should have been, either that or more network error messages. If I cut my computer off and reboot, everything gets back to normal for the next 5-10 minutes, then I have to reboot again.

I have a feeling all of these problems are related... HELPPPPPPPPP!
