Can't veiw some websites....

[biffenbob]

What has happend (as far as I know) for some reason I cant veiw/go to some websites. Two of them are hotmail, and google, I have tried both Mozilla, and Microsoft internet explorer. When I do attempt to go to one of these websites, all that happens is, I get redirected to a search engine, or I get the page cannot be displayed thing. How ever what I find really weird/hard to understand, is that it only happens here and there (I have had a freind to websites from a diffrent computer, so I am reasonably shure that there not down). I was wondering if anyone else has had a like problem, or has an idea how to fix it.... btw I use windows XP


Thanks in advance

Its probably some spyware or adware thats doing this. Try to use some anti-spyware programs such as Ad-aware or Sypbot.

I allready tried that, to no affect.

I was messing around with some more stuff and I realized that none of the computers on my network could get to these sites... any ideas?

Go to the Tech Support Guy Forums (http://forums.techguy.org/54-security/) and ask them about it. Those guys really know their stuff. You'll need to get HijackThis (http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html.
