Problems with Windows and Internet Explorer

by hkdorlon . Updated 19 years, 2 months ago

I recently took my personal PC to work and connected to their network. In doing so, something on the network infected my computer. Now when I try to access websites through explorer I can only go so far. For example, I can access the staples website but can’t access the link to log-in. I can access Dell to build a computer but can’t make it past the CPU page….I can’t advance to monitors, accessories, nothing. When I access Yahoo mail I can see the e-mails I have received and who they came from, but no text. I can access Mapquest but can’t print instructions. Actually nothing will print from explorer yet the printer is fine and will print from any other program. When I tried to download Mozilla Firefox thinking it was my browser it will bring up the page to download but won’t allow me to acces the link for the program.

I tried to perform a system restore but when I click on “Initiate System Restore” all I get is a blank white screen. Same with when I try to add or remove hardware. It’s bizarre. I have Spycatcher and Norton and neither have been able to find anything. Although when I try to run a manual Norton scan it brings up the Norton window but won’t allow me to scan.

The server we’re on at work is through Linux. Any ideas?
