Can get to Google and search but can't open any of the sites liste

Using either Modzilla or Internet Explorer on my Windows XP computer I have
no problem getting to my favorite search engine website (Google) and after
searching I get the usual list of Web site links. Howeve, when I click on
any of the links, I can't access their Web pages, and get the standard "Page
cannot be found" error.

Try these links. If you can only access the one using an IP address, then
you likely have a DNS problem.

http://www.microsoft.com/

Since you can access search engines by name, then it's probably not a DNS
problem. However, if only the first link above works for you, then check
your DNS configuration using ipconfig at a command prompt.

If both links work, you may be infected by a virus that hijacks the search
engine. Usually these will redirect links to other sites, not give you a
"page not found" but it's still possible. If you are infected, you'll need
to use a malware removal program. Below is a link that names some of the
most popular ones"

I hope this helps!
