When you say "get to some sites but not others" what do you mean? Can you
describe what happens? Do you get an error message? Does the browser lock up
and quit responding? The pages you mention are likely to have Flash
animations. I have seen a problem like this when Flash is not working
properly.

I want to thank everyone who tried to help me, but it wasn't a virus. I
assume when my norton updated it must have reset my windows blocking setting.
As soon as I turned this off everything works ok now. I think Kerry was
