Hi, I'm new here and have some really annoying problems with both IE and MSN!
I've been having a problem with Internet Explorer ever since I went to France. I was able to use it for a while when I got there, but then, suddenly, it stopped working. Usually it was able to load the homepage, but then when I tried to browse it would open up a million more browsers with the destination badurl.streetinteractive.com or it would display "page not found." I am now back in the US and was having the same problems earlier today. I did everything I knew how and installed a Microsoft Anti-Spyware software. The software found 39 spywares on my computers and removed them. Now Internet Explorer no longer opens the badurl.streetinteractive.com page; however, I am still not able to browse properly. It opens up more pages that before, but once I try to log-in to or download anything, the "page not found" comes up.
MSN Explorer and MSN Messenger stopped working at around the same time as well. I'm guessing it's because they are somehow related to my Internet Explorer connections or whatnot. I downloaded the newest version of MSN Messenger this afternoon. When I try to connect it says "service temporarily available." I went to OPTIONS then CONNECTIONS to resolve the problem. I ran the Connections Troubleshooter test, but the result came back that there is a problem with my key ports. The error message reads: "Failed to connect to the service. This could be due to improper proxy or firewall settings. Please review your proxy and firewall settings. Proxy settings can be accessed through MSN Messenger Options. For Firewall settings, please see the retailer's instructions."
I have asked numerous people and nobody has any idea what to do. Right now the most important thing to me is MSN Messenger because that is my line of communication to my cousins and friends in Europe. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!!
