problems with yahoo after downloading mp3 file

after downloading a music mp3 file, ive been having problems with yahoo mail.

when i try to log into my yahoo mail account via my ISP browser, it rarely works - i usually get page cannot be displayed message.

(my ISP is BT Yahoo in the UK)

however, when i try to log into my other yahoo accounts via firefox, things are fine.

ive tried logging into my main account via firefox, but i still have same problem as with my ISP browser.

i have full norton security (bundled with ISP) and spybot. ive ran these but no problems come up.

if someone could please advise i'd really appreciate it.

thankyou.

    Hi Grish!

    Please download the self-extracting version of HijackThis from here:

    HijackThis_sfx download

    Save HijackThis_sfx to your desktop.

    Double-click the file then click the Unzip button. Then close the Self-Extractor window.

    Using My Computer/Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\HijackThis and double click on HijackThis.exe to run it. If you would like to make a shortcut for your Desktop so it's more easily accessable, right click HijackThis.exe and choose Send To > Desktop (create shortcut).

    Please run the extracted HijackThis.exe from now on. Delete any copies of HijackThis.zip that you have saved.

    Open HijackThis and click Do a system scan and save a log file. Copy the entire contents of that log and post it here :)

    Paltalk Messenger

    Please note any other programs that you dont recognize in that list in your next response

    Hi!

    Your log is ok. Do you have problems?
  • edited May 2007
    The Yahoo problem seems to be resolved now thanks.

    Two final quick questions if I may (forgive me if I seem like a luddite - I am!)

    Am I ok to reinstall paltalk?

    And, for maintenance, should I keep installed ATF Cleaner and AVG and run them weekly alongside Ad-Aware / Spybot / Norton Antivirus / C-Cleaner?

    Oh, and if you could suggest how to safely download free mp3 music files in future, that would be very helpful!

    Kind regards,

    Paltalk --> http://www.superadblocker.com/definition/palstart/

    Threat Level (1-10)
    2

    And that's ok, if you run weekly or monthly ATF-Cleaner and AVG A-S 7.5.

    I don't know good ideas to "Oh, and if you could suggest how to safely download free mp3 music files in future, that would be very helpful!"
