Browser problems with internet explorer

About three weeks ago my computer suffered several infections, i have managed to rid them all with Norton 2008 and Ad-Aware. Since then i have been unable to access secure sites like Facebook, hotmail but i am able to access Ebay. I am able to log onto google but cannot search. However on some days i can get on all the above sites and can search on google with no problems (does not happen often). The other day i could not log onto hotmail via the address bar but was able to log onto it via Windows messenger and by someone sending me the link (link address was same as address i entered in the address bar) ANI IDEAS WHATS WRONG???

try the following commands on the command prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns

ipconfig /release, then ipconfig /renew

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt

netsh winsock reset

if it still persists try the following:
