My sisters laptop wouldn't go online with IE or Firefox anymore. However other stuff will go online like MSN Messenger. I ran a virus scan and she had Virus Trojan Zlob and MyWeb Search stuff on it. She is also showing a file not found error called Runtime error 53 file not found. Now I can't get on the internet through a browser on her laptop to try to fix this. Any suggestions?

They can all be found on one page in my signature. Let us know how you make out, Thanks
