Why can I not access certain websites? I get a "blocked domain" message and a comment like "go find something else to do." These are not innappropriate websites. No porn, etc. How can I fix this? If not I'll use another browser.

Okay. I solved this one myself. It was an OpenDNS issue.

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

I scanned with all of the above programs and I still have the same problem. I just want to surf the web with no blocked domains. I don't understand why this is so difficult!
Try running TDSSKiller http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?qid=208280684, see if that pulls anything off.
