Internet Explorer won't load Yahoo

I can't load Yahoo homepage anymore on Internet Explorer. I used to be able to load them but now I can't. I've tried Netscape and Mozilla and they still won't load Yahoo homepage. I've used Ad-aware and removed all spy-ware and updated my anti-virus and checked for viruses. This still did not solve the problem. Could it be my ISP? I can load every other page on the internet. If anyone has any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

If you have a firewall , check that you have not put a stop on Yahoo .
Or , have you altered your security settings in IE Internet options .

Probably a longshot, but have you recently deleted your cookies, and all offline content?? It's happened to me before, with Yahoo. ~Tommyo

Works for dial-up too! Although it may not be as noticeable as on broadband, this problem can occur on dial-up as well, so turning off unsuccessful ("negative") DNS caching (as described above) is also recommended for dial-up.

Turning off unsuccessful ("negative") DNS caching did not seem to work either. This dosen't make sense to me. I can get on mail.yahoo.com, France Yahoo Homepage, Brazil Yahoo homepage and any other site on the internet but not on www.yahoo.com. Are there any other suggestions.
