Connecting to certain website problems...

[ca14]

I just reformatted because I was getting annoyed of my slow XP install, and i installed all the drivers and everything. I connect to the internet through a wireless router. For some reason i can only go to about 70% of the sites i normally go to...I can go to this website as well as www.kotaku.com, but i cannot go to www.aim.com or www.joystiq.com. Help?

I'd suspect malware of spyware of either hijacking the DNS info or something has probably altered your hosts file. Give this a run through and see if anything changes:

HouseCall

Well i tried that and it didn't work . I restarted after the scans and fixes were complete but nothing. Any other ideas? And by the way, it is only happening on my computer (not the others in my house) which has a completely fresh install of XP with only mozilla and steam on it.
