I'd always eject all PARASITES I can find with the Anti-Parasite Suite I noted at http://reviews.cnet.com/5208-6132-0.html?forumID=32&threadID=1313&start=0
Many of the parasites noted interfere with internet usage.
BUT! If the machine needs repair, then it needs repair.

My brother-inlaw is having trouble connnecting to the internet. When-ever he dials up he either gets 'cannot find server', 'the page cannot be displayed' or 'Access denied'. this has been going on for some months now. he even tried signing up to another ISP but this didn't work. He is using windows ME with I.E.version 5.5. Before his kids put their size 10 feet through the screen! can anybody solve this for him.
Thanks
