Hotmail, Facebook pages won't load.

[LefkyTheShin]

Hi, just the other day I turned on my computer and attempted to logon to my hotmail account. The page was "done," but it was totally blank, just a white page and no loaded info at all. I had the same problem with Facebook, just a blank screen; most other webpages loaded fine. Occassionally, when I'd click on a button for a download, nothing would happen. The odd thing was the previous night it was working fine and I hadn't downloaded anything recently, potentially harmful, to explain why. I ran a number of programs like Prevx 2.0, ESET NOD32 Antivirus, Malwarebytes and RegCur, but they found nothing. I even reverted back to IE7 and then upgraded to IE8 again in hopes of rectifying it, but nothing. I also thought, and hoped, that it might be a temporary problem on IE's end and thought of waiting it out, but who knows.
Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Eric

Thanks. Recently I was able to perform a System Restore and that seemed to have ironed any problems I was having. Thanks again.

Good Morning,

Glad you got it fixed, your call but if you would like me to check your logs to make sure there is no malware involved then post both of those reports.
