Shadow Flix, It is possible that some piece of spyware has messed with your hosts file. Scan your machine for hosts and open it with notepad. the only unremarked entry should be 127.0.0.1 Local Host. In WinXP it’s in the windowssystem32driversetc folder. Any sites listed there with the IP 127.0.0.1 will be directed back to your own machine and you would get the page not found error

Check your cipher strength in Internet Explorer. Security Tools are shared with MSN Messenger. Go to Help|About Internet Explorer|Cipher Strength:. If it’s not 128 Bit. That would explain the problems you are having.
