roger04 Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 check your hosts file or go onto www.filemirrors.com the latest virus updates are usually there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FthrJACK Posted April 15, 2004 Share Posted April 15, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
