Bad bad internet,

   Something is wrong with my internet it will not let me search. Not in google, yahoo, nothing. It just started today. Now I'm somewhat internet savy but that's it, I wish I knew more, I'm learning more, but I can not figure out why, why, why? So now my computer is getting a once over by hopefully it can find the problem. Before I had upgraded to XP I had anti-virus software but now its gone. Soooo I've probably been hit by a virus. I hope so at least I'll probably be able to fix it. But if not then I will have to dish out cash that I do not have. That's not a good thing.
Still waiting on this virus detection, tell you the rest later.
