I have a forum that I'm a staff member on and for the past week I haven't been able to view the forum. The message below comes up. At first I thought the server was down, but I went to Proboards.com and it said it was online then I e-mailed another staff member and she said she wasn't having any problems and wasn't aware of anyone else having any problems.
Today I discovered that a few of my favorites are displaying the same message. I am using the same computer right now so it's not my internet connection. I ran adaware to get rid of spyware and that didn't help either. I am currently running IE6 and it's the only browser I have on the computer. Anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening?

Okay I've tried just about everything I can think of and I've pretty much lost hope here. I've deleted cookies and temp internet files. Even went as far as to restore my computer to a date before this started happening. No luck so far can someone please help me with this????

Have you recently added a firewall, hardware or software? Also if you want to you could try Firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/landing/better/?utm_content=0705features&utm_source=google&utm_medium=ppc&utm_campaign=0507lndgpgtest&gclid=CLaL4eGJrY4CFQHgPAod0FawYQ) to see if that makes a difference.
Also you should boot to safe mode and run your spyware and AV scans there. Let us know if there are any improvements with changing the browser that you use.
