Okay I have a Compaq Presario that will be 4 years old in January. I'm running WIndows XP with 756 MB RAM and an 80 GB hard drive. Everything was fine until yesterday. When I login to Ebay I get the following message 

If you are seeing this page, your browser settings prevent you from automatically redirecting to a new URL.
I used to get redirected automatically. I can view my Yahoo email but I can't delete it. I can get on my banks website but I can't login to my bank account.

I downloaded Mozilla Firefox and it's working fine with ebay, my bank and yahoo. SO I assume it's an Internet Explorer issue..but when I try to GO to system restore on my pc there's nothing there. I mean it opens up one big blank window.

I hope to get a new PC after Christmas but in the meantime what can I do to get mine running right again?? I thought about just reformatting it and putting it back like it came but that's so much work.

Thanks for any help!!! and BTW, I've ran Ad Aware, AVG Anti Spyware, McAffee Virus and Spybot and nothing was really found. In IE, go Tools>Internet Options>Security tab, set slider to "Medium-High"Broni's suggestion is valid for the future but it won't FIX any malware that may be on your machine now.

As you've already run some good general "fixing" programs I recommend you post a HijackThis log here for more SPECIFIC advice.
