No matter what browser i use, mainly firefox but on IE and Safari, certain pages wont load. Most of the pages are microsoft related, but netflix and myspace wont load either. Once i click the site it keeps me on the same page and the loading bar only goes to half way. The circle loading thing on the new tab just keeps spinning.

URL of affected sites

http://www.msn.com, http://www.netflix.com, http://www.myspace.com, http://www.microsoft.com

Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs. You need to use all programs because each detects different malware. Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

I scanned my laptop with Norton 2010, MalwareBytes, Spybot S&D, and Superantispyware. All i came up with was a trojan, which i removed, and some tracing cookies. And even after all of that the pages still won't load. Any more advice?
