I downloaded spybot but cannot d/l the update cannot connect to the
site to update can view google but not yahoo the list goes on

was an atomatic update for java so I removed all java from the control panel
no joy,then virus check with
(mcaffe) no virus found then removed and installed (AVG) no virus found
installed adaware 6 no spyware found and about 6 other programs I managed
to download of this site that let me but still cannot access the same sites

Sorry mate.

Because HJT logs take a while to get through. This happens from time to time.

Give Firefox a try.

You can get it HERE

If that doesn`t help, let us know.

Regards Howard

try different sites for spybot updates. Many of the update sites are in europe and if you're in the USA, the sites are incredibly slow to download from. just experiment until you find a mirror that's close and fast.

Hi


all thank you all very much for your help

I have been pulling my hair out all night, I am a bit new to networking
IP addressing and all that but I think that I have solved the problem!

It doesent look like a virus at all nor even IE and Firefox did,nt work

But I tried this ping program and then Tracert then Karen,s Whois
and it seems they have problems sorry it seen that it is timing out
at my service provider (Gibtel) even though they are denying they
have any problems I have now just got in touch with a couple more
people here on the rock and they now say they are having a few probs
now, funny that is,nt it

once again that you all for your quick responce and help

I am going to add this site to my favs

one of the best help sites so far

thank you


Paul
