can't access websites after virus clean

Well thats how it is. before all of this I didn't know anything about
viruses. didn't have any protection or anything. So then obviously I
caught a virus on my dell Inspiron 2200 laptop. Actually it was all
more like spy ware or whatever. I tried system restoring. Just my
luck the last restore point is right after i get the virus so that
doesn't work. then i download a free trial of CA virus scan and then
get the spy doctor. I ran these in safe mode and now i think i'm pretty
much free of infection. now the problem is that i cannot access some
websites or some parts of for example i can go to a website like
gamefaqs.com butnot a website like 4chan.com also i can go to google
but if i try to run a search it will do the same thing it always does,
just sit and load. also when i boot into safe mode with networking I
can access all internet sites with no problem. I have seen similar
problems on the internet but nothing that fits. Can anyone help me?

Seeing that you had no virus protection until now, your system might
have more viruses (or residual damage from them) than a dog has
fleas. If you want a really solid machine then you should reinstall
Windows on a freshly formatted disk.

It also helps if you tell us, not what your system CAN'T do, but what it
DOES do when you try. That is, what happens when you try to access these
sites? Do you get an error message? Does your machine make a rude noise?

Yeah i guess i diddnt make clear on what it does. whenever i try to get
to these sites it just keeps loading and never gets anywhere as far as
i can tell. but recently i got on part of a website that i cant access.
i went on the website in safe mode and then shut the computer down but
later i just booted my regular stuff up and the internet browser asked
me if i wanted to restore my session. i said yes. then i could go
around on this site on i think every page except for the homepage,
where it i tried it would just load and do nothing.ANOTHER THING i
found this myway search assistant B'S in my ad remove. i just now read
someething that says this is one of those bad programs. could this be
my problem? if so how do i get rid of it?
