April 15, 200422 yr I cant access any antivirus software company homepage. e.g http://www.symantec, http://www.mcafee.com. I cant access the homepage for that 2 and others. Why am I having thsi weird problem?
April 15, 200422 yr Is it just antivirus homepages you can't access? This is blamed on a virus blocking access to these sites, so your machine is probably infected.
April 15, 200422 yr check your hosts file or go onto www.filemirrors.com the latest virus updates are usually there
April 15, 200422 yr its a virus. you may have removed the virus from your system, but as jono said your hosts file is still blocking those sites. you will need to remove the anti virus sites and microsoft update from there.Update your anitvirus definitions and scan your PC!GL
April 15, 200422 yr If you don´t have much experience with that problems, try to use a software that will clean your computer.Try to install and update ad-aware from http://www.lavasoftusa.com/.I hope that this resolve your problem
April 17, 200422 yr Author how do I check my host file? What is it anyway?BTW, I've disabled some of my services at services.msc. Could this be the problem?I have BitDefender AVOutpost V2 Pro firewallAdaware -> all latest and scanned with it.
