maybe some domains are locked from your lokation, maybe by your government or by microsoft, dunno...


give a try for http://tinyurl.com/

... perhaps this already is rerouting enough.

no, i found out that others in my area can access the page just fine. it's a virus on my machine that prevents any microsoft webpage from loading

LOL

i'm trying to find the virus now... but haven't yet. has anyone else heard of this?

I think you're right

impressive virus. they block all microsoft sites and any site that posts a solution to the virus !!

if only these people could use their intelligence to solve global conflicts... OR MAYBE THEY THINK THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE DOING?!

anyway. thanks everyone. i'll see if i can research conflicker on a friends machine.

yup, Symantec W32.Downadup Removal Tool 1.1.0.7 seemed to do the trick

thanks everyone :)
