Here's what happened --
After reading this thread at BBR (Winfixer/ Vundo / Virtumonde Victims : Please Read (http://www.broadbandreports.com/forum/remark,14738046)), I decided I'd better check my version of Sun Java. Sure enough, I had an old version as well as prior versions on my system. So I downloaded the latest update, disconnected, closed the browser, did the update and then uninstalled the prior versions. Since it was late, I shutdown. All set, right? Wrong. When I connected yesterday, all I could get is that darn "page cannot be displayed" message -- regardless of the browser I tried. I went to a friends and tried downloading another version of Java, thinking the one I got was corrupt. Nope That didn't do it. I knew I was connected, but checked my settings, dialup properties, firewall, etc. No go.
I sent Mitch a PM outlining what I had done. Doesn't he come back with several suggestions, the first of which was the solution! So, should you have a problem with your browser after a Sun Java update, remember this thread and go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > <APPLET> tag support > check the browsers listed there just as shown in the image!
