WEBSITE NOT FOUND - SPYWARE BLOCK?

Trying to get on several websites related to spyware detection and removal and a lot of them are not found despite my IP being able to get on. I've tried to repair the windows installation and I've run Ad-aware and spybot to clean up my system. I've also bypassed my router and uninstalled my virus protection and firewall just to make sure that wasn't it.

My IP suggested I may have some malware blocking those type of sites because it appears to be real specific. All other websites seem to work fine.

I would like to download spyblaster but that is one of the websites blocked. How do I fix this or am I doomed to reinstall windows after a reformat of the hard drive?

Hi Dave....welcome to forum

Yes, that could be the case, some malware can block sites... in the HOSTS files...is an area.

GO HERE
and read my posts on the HOSTS files, see if any site may be blocked via that.

Cheers, TAS
