I tried that the day I got the virus. I have identicle problems with firefox as I do IE. And I CAN access the internet. I just can't google anything, get to my myspace page, ebay or a few other things that are really annoying.

It may be too late, but have you tried Trend Micro Housecall, which is a free online scan. My tech people here recommended it to me once, and it helped catch a virus. Mind you, the scan takes hours.
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

Additionally, have you tried a free spyware program like Spybot, to see if it's spyware or malware that's causing problems?

You probably have tried these, since you're very tech savvy, but I thought I'd mention them.
No not that one...I will though. I've tried adaware, panda, avg, nortons and a few others. but none of them are finding the files that I am finding on my own. So that is really frustrating.
