Try this:

Click on the start menu, and then click run (on the bottom right). when the little box pops up type in CMD and press enter. A Dos style command line should open. type in IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS and press enter. Then close the window and retry loading VT.

Ok. Sounds like you have a problem with your DNS service, which is the way windows maps domain names to IP addresses. See this link for more info on trying to fix it
