Why my Favourite sites are blocked?

[Isra]

Dear All,
My favou
rite sites are blocked and I believe by Spybot. I installed it few days ago. Before that everything was working fine. After I installed it, some of the sites (those on my favourite list) were blocked. I uninstalled it. I thought this would fix the problem out but I am having the same problem.
Has anyone any idea how this could be fix.

Thanks in Advance.
Regards

Hi there,

if this is a malware problem, first go here and post the three log requested.  An expert will see them and help you further.

(I have spybot, but didn't encounter this problem... maybe it's where you downloaded it from, or maybe it's the sites themselves that might have some sort of malware....)

Hope everything goes for the better,

if it worked before the d/load , go to add and remove , take it out and try it

Check your hosts file and if you see those sites listed remove them.

What does the blocked page look like? Does it have a company name, reason why it was blocked?
