When doing a web search, every site bears the legend "this site may harm
your computer".
I had a sort-of similar problem with IE a couple weeks ago -- every site was
going to do harm and I thought I had a virus. Turned out I had checked the
calendar in the tray to find a date and inadvertently closed it without
checking that I had gone back to the current date. Seems unlikely you would
have done that but just check to be sure your clock is correct before you
start running down other stuff.
Warm regards
