so, do you have any anti spyware tools such as Ad-aware and spybot, perhaps your requests are being blocked by some evil spyware.
what kinda virus protection if any do you have? |

use Ad-aware and spybot in conjunction with each other
go here for spybot: http://download.softpedia.com/software/ant...ybotsd14rc2.exe make sure you get all the updates for both Ad-aware and spybot. this will ensure a perfect scan. what ever those programs find, put a check in the box and delete them, you need virus protection, go here for FREE AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/Get+AVG+FREE/lng/us/tpl/v5 install and run, make sure you check for updates, this will also ensure a perfect scan for all evil viruses. Also, if you havent already , turn everything off in the background. Start, run...type this in "msconfig" in the start tab, uncheck everything except AVG.... good luck |
