Question Internet Explorer???

I was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. Yahoo's search engine comes up "Page cannot be displayed" Like it isnt even there. Also does the same thing in MSN, Search engine comes up the same thing. Just updated my Norton and did a full scan and system is clean. Is this a Yahoo and MSN problem or is it something on my machine? Also Google displays a page saying I need to delete some files to get it to display. *** is up with that???? Thanks in Advance!

ps. No Firewall, Just started this a couple days ago and I havent added anything.

Would you believe it was a program called AD SUBTRACT? It came with something I bought (cant remember what) and is supposed to filter ads and it killed my search engines! Thanks for the help James. I deleted the program and everything works again.

I'm beginning to think those programs that kill pop-ups are almost more trouble than they're worth. I used to use IE 5.5 and after installing Pop-Up Stopper by Panicware, IE would crash at least 5 or 6 times while I was using it. I thought I had an IE problem but couldn't figure it out, so I downloaded Mozilla Firebird and started using it as my browser instead. It has a built-in pop-up killer that works flawlessly. Later on I found out that Pop-Up Stopper was what made IE crash because after I took it off my machine, IE started working fine again.
