All I can say at this point is check your hosts file.

Click Start and search for Notepad. Right click the Notepad icon and select Run as Administrator. Open the file C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and make sure there aren't redirects set up on Youtube, Yahoo, Xfire, and the other sites you can't open. If there are, delete those entries, save the file, and restart your browser.

Sorry I couldn't be more of a help!
