A month or so ago something happened with my browsers (I have both IE and Firefox). I couldn't get into anything from yahoo, including my mail or my hotmail account and the sites that I did get into loaded extremely slow. I've tried winsock, ip-release, mulitple virus/spyware/adware scans, contacted my isp and all with no luck. The only thing that does work is a system restore and I think it's a little silly to have to do that everytime I want to check my mail, so in an act of desperation to get rid of this thing I'm posting this incase someone knows what's wrong.
