Cannot Log In To Hotmail Etc.

So here's the thing.

A few weeks ago I had a problem logging in to the Inland Revenue to file my tax return.
Shortly after that I found that I could not log in to GMail, Hotmail etc.
In addition access within some other websites was limited, EG Fantasy Premier League (could log in but could not access the transfer players bit).

This all with my Compaq Presario Laptop (WIN XP SP2).

Both IE and Firefox had the same problems.

My Media Centre PC (running Vista) has no problem at all.

I have tried a direct wired network and wireless, both have the same problem.

Did all the virus scans, AVAST, Spybot, CCleaner. Nothing found.

Removed AVAST, downloaded AVG 8.5, ran that-nothing.

Thought I had the VUNDO Trojan, loaded a remove tool, nothing found.

Finally I thought, Bugger it! I'll format and reload my OS.

Had to buy a Replacement OS/Driver bundle from HP (£25). As last one mislaid.

Did this yesterday so I now have a nice clean laptop, reloaded AVAST to stop any nasties, and tried to log in to Hotmail.

Same problem.

Only thing I haven't done is change the router and I don't see how that would help as my PC works with no problems through the same router.

Any ideas?? I'm all out and ready to chuck it through the window!

In fact I have just had to copy this across to my PC to get it to send as my laptop just timed out when I tried to post .
