Internet works, web browsers do NOT??

Expand Post »

I've got a network of three pcs running, two pcs run just fine, internet and browsers. They are running on verizon dsl. The main pc had a bunch of spyware which I removed via spybot. I did this because I could get the main pc to connect to the net (things like aol or messangers), but I cannot use any web browsers (IE or even shitty aol's browser). It gives me the action canceled page. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Thanks for the response and assistance but neither of these options are working for me. =( Could there be another solution?

Thanks

It either tells me the page cannot be displayed or action canceled. I know it is not my connection, I can connect just fine.

I've been having the same problem, but more sporadically. My cable modem connection is solid, and works for most sites (like this one). But when it comes to other sites I get the "action cancelled" or "cannot be displayed" message.

If I go to www.cnet.com, it'll load, but will sporadically display red x's instead of the intended graphics.
