Computer Genuis required
« on: March 29, 2011, 10:12:01 PM »
Sorry lads this has nothing to do with the Jeep but I have an issue with my computer, :banghead:

I can not connect to any search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Bing, I can access everything else just not these, it seems to have only happened after I updated my current Browser (Mozilla Firefox) but I have tried loading back through Explorer and its the same issue. Any help would be appreciated. :100:

Try emptying your cache, cookies, bookmarks, everything etc...use Disk Cleaner or similar if you can't do it manually. Then reboot and see how ya go.

can you access any antivirus websites? try www.eset.co.uk if not you have a virus that I have seen before, easy fix is a reinstall cleaning is a bit harder

Sounds more like a problem with your mozilla update - try a going to a restore point and back to your previous version of Mozilla (3.6?) and see what happens.

I know some like it but I've never had any success with Mozilla - I find it creates more problems than it solves.  Just my opinion tho...... :greggmo:

Spybot S&D writes a hosts file that blocks known malware sites and should fix your problem.
