Can't access any google sites?

[breaker012]

Hi,
I have been having trouble using google. None of the sites (search, gmail, maps, etc.) seem to work when I use any of the websites. I tried the "ping" method from this thread (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=143456) to get the IP and then I was able to go into the google main page. BUt then none of the links there took me to the sites. I keep getting the same error saying:

Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.

I recently had a malware issue and I just finished cleaning it and I am hoping it had nothing to do with that. (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=167053)

Thanks in advance.
