Can't Search the Internet

Comment:

Hey guys, I have come across a prob on my computer at work. When I go to search with Google, or Yahoo, or even MSN... I cannot contact the server. Even when I hit the Search Button on Internet Explorer... the pane pops up on the side but it's a web page I can't reach. My questions are 1. What's causing this... and 2. How do I change it back. Just a note... When I go to a web page that has a google Search bar on it... I am able to use it... but I can't type in "http://www.google.com" and actually reach the web page. It works fine from other computers... just not mine. Wierd unh?

it's a worm that causes this, I forgot which one, but just run a good updated viruscheck and it should be resolved!
