What would prevent my browser from viewing certain websites.

I cannot certain websites like epinions.com. What could cause this?

Spyware plug-ins for IE. You will want to remove spyware with ad-aware, and I would suggest getting Opera as a back up browser.

Thanks, I am checking for spyware and adware now.

Same thing, still can't browse some websites.

There could be alot of reasons. Give me some more info on how you have your system setup, is it part of a domain, is it your parents computer, that sort of stuff.

From work I can log on to epinions.com. When I try at home, it won't load. I want to know what could possibly cause it. I am using both IE6.0 at work and at home.

See if you can reach it by an IP address instead of a url.

The latest Zone Alarm (3) could be blocking it, and the dammage from spyware could have been permanent (I've had to reformat before to restore things). Webhancer spyware was the major cause of problems for me. Radiate/ aureate just caused browser crashes from what I remember.

Maybe epinions just acting up.
