    Can not visit some web sites.
    « on: August 25, 2008, 02:15:04 PM »
    Hello, I can't visit some web sites even the firewall is disabled.

    The page only display as one symbol "<" or totally blank.
    When I look up the source code. It is also "<" or blank as well.

    The most strangle thing is I can visit some homepage but failed to visit the sub webpages.

    For example,
    I can see http://www.sqlteam.com and http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/.
    However I can't open http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/forum.asp?FORUM_ID=30.


    My computer operating system: Win xp pro.
    IE 6.0.2900

    Thanks for your answer.

      I suggest you try Firefox. (you can uninstall it later if you want)

      We need to know if it's a problem with IE or the computer.

          Get help from company IT department.

          One computer failure could be caused by anything

          Two or more computers suggests one of you got an infection and it has been passed around.

          I think the IT department would require that any possibility of a virus should be notified.
          They may even require that your computer be quarantined;
          and if your boss catches a virus the consequences could be severe !!!

          To look for viruses, I suggest you post the requested logs from this guide:
          http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.html

          Once you post them here, we can help you remove the virus.

            Carbon,
            As this is a work enviornment we would need permission from the IT Department before going any further on this.

            zhshqzyc,

            Have you spoken to them at all on this issue ? ?
            If so what was their response ? ?

              Norton 360? There are much much better free alternatives like AVG and McAfee.

              I assume you have the IT Departments permission to do that then?
