Which security prog. is preventing site opening?

Hah! Now we have gone and done it! We have so much layered security we cannot tell which programme is disallowing a site to be opened. Specifically www.customize.org. It is not the browser's protection (we are not using IE), it is not the firewall or it's plugins, it is not a setting in IE>Internet Options>Security, it is not SpywareBlaster, it is not the AV programme nor the AT programme. Anyone have any ideas? We cannot even ping their site.

Of course the site may be down but it is not likely. Why? Sometimes when we are here on Wilders and we are viewing page one of a thread clicking to follow onto page two gives us a "The page cannot be displayed." Upon "Refresh" we can get it sometimes.

 

Q

the actions you are reporting is happening at several websites.....I have also experience it....an suspect it to be an "on-purpose" injection....that prevents certain users with certain security from entering the website...as yet I have not discovered what is doing the "preventing" that "what" may well be something used for hijacking or by ad companies....perhaps if by webmasters.

The website you post is fairly clean.. Adclick is present at the site....an also this:
<<<http://c4.maxserving.com/iserver/clip>>>>...


using a host file......perhaps
(I entered without any issues)

 

"It is not the browser's protection (we are not using IE),....it is not a setting in IE>Internet Options>Security"

You secret guys confuse me sometimes

Anyway....IE 6 SP1\high Internet Zone setting\accept NO cookies, latest IE-Spyad(it's not showing as restricted site)....reached the site with no difficulties @ this time.

 

Q

blocking the site maxserving does not prevent "entering"..nor does blocking the adclick servers..

also at the site are:

<vapaa.dc.inet.fi>

< deskmod.com>

<deviantart.com>

<artuproar.com>

nothing exceptional at the site..........so its doubtful that its your security blocking you...........

 

We are using a browser that uses the IE engine but.........the browser has settings that make it considerable more secure than IE.

 

That could be a topic\discussion all in itself

 

Having spoken with the people who run the ISP connection and not finding anything wrong we now have rebooted into another drive and another OS. Guess what? Same problem! About the last thing we can think of is the router. We will next check it.

Any one else with any more ideas until we come back?

 

try this - works for me: http://customize.org/

Can you do a favour? Go to http://customize.org and then click on several items in the left column and see if you can make the links. We can get to the homepage but not the links. We were originally trying to get to the Rainmeter skins.

 

I clicked a few links at the site and everything is working just fine here.

 

No problem viewing it here.

Well well...now its happening to me as well.......no problem earlier....haven't made any changes............will get back on this

 

** Rainmeter is a feature rich system meter with support for multiple layers of png images (just like Rainlender). It can measure all of the basic system statistics such as physical ram, virtual memory, swap, and hard drive space. When coupled with MBM5, it can measure system temperatures and fan speeds. Rainmeter also has the ability to display the time as an analog clock with second, minute, and hour hands. Also available as a Litestep module.

CAUTION

this program may be only for XP......just read this......don't know if its true....
********************
In order to get the program under all other operating systems except WinXP for running, one needs the file <gdiplus.dll> of the Microsoft Website
*******************


went to the M$ site but the dll was no longer available

 

I don't know what the problem might but I have gone to the site several times in the last hour and it opens with no problems
