My problem has me puzzled from a procedural standpoint and any help would be appreciated. QUESTIONS… computer cannot access the internet. - Is it helpful to download and scan w/detectors (AdAware, Spybot S+D, etc.) if I am unable to update with their latest files? - I can download to another computer then transfer software to my computer and run without updating. Is that advisable and useful? BACKGROUND - OS Win-XP/SP2 Media Edition with all updates (except SP3). - 1 GB RAM w/ Intel 2400 @ 1.83 GHz/988 MHz. - Use IE, Version 6.0.2900.xpsp_sp2qfe070227-2300 - Recently lost internet access…it just ceased to connect. I can still use Outlook / Office XP for e-mail. - IE just will not load...stalls out. - ISP is Verizon FiOS; Verizon confirms that there is no issue with their service since another computer had no difficulty accessing via IE. - Working wireless, and have tried connecting via line cord to the router…still unable to connect (wireless or line cord). - Prefer to NOT upgrade to IE 7 due to compatibility issues at work. Any help appreciated, Thanks - Press1

The suggestion from someone offline (run Microsoft CHECK DISK) located and corrected two corrupted sectors. Then I downloaded and ran AdAdare, Spybot Search + Destroy, and Panda online scan… no "bad boys" found. All programs are working properly. Thanks for everyone's thoughts and suggestions. Regards - Press1
