I'm running out of options here, so I figured I'd try LJ. My computer just recently stopped letting me access any form of email service, and also my MSN messenger. When I try to sign in with my password and such, it just tells me "page cannot be found" and a connection error on Firefox.

There's also supposedly virus going around that basically IM's you from someone's account asking "is this you?---->" and then putting a link with your email in it. Well, I clicked on it, and I'm assuming I now have that virus. All of my virus protection is out of date and doesn't really work (no money to get new stuff. :() So it may be as simple as that. I remember an older computer of mine having this same problem, but I can't for the life of me remember what I did to fix it.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? Is there anything I can do to fix it before I get new virus protection? Thanks for any suggestions!
