Sinsemilla Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Hi, I have been having, for a week or two, the weirdest problem ever. Let's say I try to follow a link in PCWorlds newsletter, I then get an error message saying:"Connection Failed. Firefox cannot connect to the server at Reviews and News on Tech Products, Software and Downloads - PC World.- The site may be temporarily down, try again etc. etc.The message comes up immediately, no trying with subsequent time-out, just bang - head against the wall.Same difference with Internet Explorer.The weird thing is that it's only PCWorld.com I cannot connect to, all other sites (this one, for instance) work fine.I just can't remember what I might have done to exclude myself from PCWorld.Can anybody out there guess what's the matter?Thank you!

NIM Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 What are you using for system protection. Which Anti-Virus or/and firewall?For instance NOD32 has the option to block some sites if I remember correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
