    Problem is, you still need to update to get the latest 'virus database' (Its still well behind)

    Keep pressing F8 at bootup and select SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING and try again

    If that fails, reset the hosts file ~
    Download HostsXpert
    http://www.softpedia.com/progDownload/Hoster-Download-27041.html
    and then follow the below steps.
    * Unzip HostsXpert.zip
    * It will create a folder named HostsXpert in whatever folder you extract it to.
    * Run HostsXpert.exe by double clicking on it.
    * click the Make Writeable? button.
    * click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
    * Click the X to exit the program


    and try again

    Should be fine now methinks

    Give it a clean ~
    Download CCLEANER
    http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download/slim
    Run the CLEANER scan (UNTICK 'cookies')
    Then run the REGISTRY scan (Backup the registry when it asks)

    Post back here if anymore problems :)
