    Yeah, yeah, I know. What's wrong with that? :p

    IE7 gives me an HTTP 400 error when I try to connect to any website.
    Safari, and Opera say there is a Bad Request (Invalid Hostname) error.

    This started happening just recently, so I System Restored to two weeks ago, and the same problem still comes about.

    The bad part is that the HTTP 400 error comes up when trying to use the Help & Support section of Windows, when trying to PartyPoker, and even when viewing new media in the Azureus client. These are just some examples.

    My connection is working fine because my desktop hasn't had any of these problems.

    This happening to anyone else?

    EDIT: Feel free to move this to the Networking section if it would be better suited there.

    I bet some malware/crapware hijacked your IE.

    Have you tried scanning for trojans/viruses/adware...?
