I think my laptop’s got a virus. When I try to check my emails on yahoo or hotmail, the browser won’t let me access the page. I’ve run a virus checker which didn’t come up with anything, and I know there’s nothing wrong with the websites, because I’ve accessed them on different computers since. Something similiar happened before, when I couldn’t access search engines, but I fixed that by removing text from windows/hosts. Anyone got any ideas what’s wrong with me?
Instead of using an onboard virus scanner , try doing the virus scan online
Some virus are designed to elude detectors. Should that fail , then do the spybot -ad-aware thing to see if its mal ware.

It’s most likely spyware, not a virus. They are much more likely to screw with your hosts file. Download and run Ad-Aware or Spybot.
