Sounds to me like something has your registry screwed up. It could be a faulty uninstall which left a rogue *.dll on your system, but I'd go with the registry first.

My machine will let me get to Yahoo one time. same with google and lycos and altavista. but locks me out until I reboot. Spent 4 hours scanning, anti-virusing, trojan hunting, etc and still isn't right.
Oh well.

yea, some of these spyware/malware programs hide themselves in the registry such that they are nearly impossible to get rid of. One of the most common is coolwebsearch (and it's variants), you might try the cool web shredder program.
I'm going through something similar except I can't even get windows XP to come up on my computer.
I've got my old one hooked up to the internet now, and my 6 month old dell is out of commission till I can either figure out how to fix it or reinstall windows.
Not sure how this happened but it has been BAD! I'm trying to use some old files from windows restore to fix it but not having much success.
I keep getting the "Action cancelled" page.
