Suddenly

[bugkiller]

I can not access msn and a few other sites.

This is a problem because I can not access hotmail fro my email.

So can someone help me out here, please?

I would probably start by trying a different browser.

Then I would open a command window (Winkey - r), type cmd, hit enter, and in it type

ipconfig /flushdns

and enter.

If that doesn't do it, download Malwarebytes and do a full scan, then hijackthis and do a full scan.

Where do I find Winkey - r?

ipconfig/flushdns does what? How much does it configure anything and what?

thanks

WinKey -> Bottom row of keys, (Ctrl),(WinKey),(Alt),(SpaceBar),(Alt),(WinKey) on most keyboards.
Normally looks like this ->

IPConfilg/flushdns
Will clear out the current DNS history that your computer uses, forcing it to re lookup any IP Address for websites you're trying to connect to.

DNS Entries are sort of equivalent to Phone Numbers for web sites.
Example you wish to Call John Smith , so you look up in the Phone book and see that their number is 555-555-1234 and save that in your memory.
Well John Smith changes his number, and updates it in the phone book, "IPConfig /flushdns" will make you re-lookup the number and get their new number (555-555-1421) so you can contact them.
