    For some reason, all of a sudden, I cannot access password related sites such as MyEbay and Yahoo mail. I get a "can't access web site message every time. Anyone ever hear of this?

    Give this a try,

    Reset Web Settings & Default Security Settings:

    To Reset Web Settings:
    Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

    If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK


    To Default Security Settings:
    Right click on your desktop Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Then click the Security Tab and click Default Level for Internet, Local Intranet, Trusted Sites, and Restricted Sites.

    Nope, no luck.
    However it occurred to me that I was able to enter my id and password on this site in order to post. Therefore, I have only been able to identify Yahoo Mail and MyEbay as problem sites.

    Run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

    Let me know if this fixes the problem.
