I think the only thing u can do is to run a system restore to a point when u think your PC was working like a charm and do a virus/spyware scan on your PC. try browning the site *www.download.com/

Didn't u see what he said "he has uninstalled hide ip"..:x

I think mainly its due to some spyware issue..So try running any gud antispyware like spybot or spyware doctor

Also, check your hosts file... If there is any entry for blog related sites, delete them (back up first for safety sake)

Typical Location of hosts file:
c:\windows\hosts [Windows 95/98/me]
c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts [Windows NT/2000/XP Pro]
c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts [Windows XP Home]
