Can't help if we don't know what you're using. You have to be our eyes.

What operating system/version are you running?

What browser/version are you using?

Is this connecting at work, or at home? If at work, are you on a domain? If at home, is it DSL or dial-up?

Are you trying to reach these pages by a bookmark, or typing the web sites in? If typing, WHAT are you typing?

Do you have a firewall? Do you have toolbars with popup blockers, like maybe goodle toolbar installed?

I sorta have the same problem. I work for this school and only on this computer I am typing from do I have issues when trying to access google.com. I get a HTTP 400 Bad Request. If I go to yahoo.com, bing.com, or any page where you can "search the web" because searching the site is no problem.

I thought it was only with Internet Explorer but I downloaded Safari, Chrome, and Mozilla to see if this problem occured across the board and it does. The system I am running is

Windows XP Professional, SP3
Pentium D CPU 3GHz, 1 GB RAM
Harddisk drive 80GB
Running all sorts of browsers, now.....(Testing Purposes) - Originally just IE.
Scanned the computer for malware/adware/spyware/viruses of all sorts and nothing.

I do believe at one point there may have been a bad malware issue, which is making me think this may be reminince of that. Any direction would be greatly appreciated.
