[RedHorse]

pesky virus won't allow IE to visit other websites, and no other browser installed (pahamak)

Try installing AVG and Ad-Aware. Update mo muna. Also, if you know the name of the virus, End Process on Task Manager.

virus nga kaya yan? I'm actually experiencing the same thing as you, also with IE7 on XP SP2. I know for a fact that walang virus ang PC ko because it's newly formatted, immediately installed AVG and an adware/spyware blocker before going online, and only tried to access Yahoo that time.

The main page of Yahoo is actually the site that always makes IE7 hang for me. I don't have that problem with firefox.

Baka naman may ginawa ang Microsoft with an update to IE7 kaya ganyan nangyayari. Di ba ni-reject ng Yahoo ang offer ng Microsoft recently?

Anyway, if I do learn something about this, I'll just post it here.

have you tried a system restore?

I don't have any problems with IE7. But, I do have Spybot: Search and Destroy in Resident (real-time protection) mode and have every option to secure IE turned on.

May na experience din na ganyan ang friend ko. Won't let you visit another site in a sense na mag hang na yung IE but it was IE6. It was not a virus, there were some corruptions dun sa system files ng IE. What I did was a complete reinstallation of IE and voila ayus na sya

A registry checker might help din, kung spyware or virus nga, install ka na lang antivirus (Avast) and antispyware(Superantispyware). Or try and download hijackthis and have the results posted here.

pinpointed the problem...

network connection: received packets=0

both results whether, tcp/ip address is hard coded or automatic

it won't repaiar either..

ping 192.168.0.1 (gateway) it takes forever

corrupted na nga yata windows nito

REINSTALL!

or mag vista na nga lang

mapapa mura ka talaga sa windows

mapa mahal ka naman sa mac

was able to connect to internet using wired LAN...last night past 9pm

but the same situation, happened to the wired LAN right after RESTART

am exhausted and weighing things around, whether I should go vista

vista and mac trouble free ahead?

Just wondering if you have a wireless router piggybacking off a wired router......

To see if there's nothing wrong at all with my inet conection, I use my Ubuntu 7.04 in disk mode. Kung ayaw pa din, ang ISP ko ang may diperensya for sure.

THAT's what I'm moving to after XP becomes passe. Sawang sawa na ko sa bloatware ng MS at sa presyong apple. Shucks, I even use Ubuntu to partition and format my large 320Gig HD -- something which will take Windows hours -- if it can at all. It took my Ubuntu, oh, 2 minutes?

That's because Ubuntu does a quick format which is similar to MS' own quick format. it didn't take long for XP either when I used quick format rather than the full format.
