I can get to some sites but not others all of a...I think I have that virus (can't remember the name) that blocks certain sites. What is the solution? I was told it would probably be best to save all my files and wipe out my computer and reinstal everything, but I don't know the risks in doing that...

If you are at work, may just be blocked, if you are at home then i'd recommend you install a spyware remover or malware remover. there are some free ones like http://malwarebytes.org/ and http://www.softpedia.com/get/Antivirus/RogueRemover.shtml

Download this:

http://www.superantispyware.com/

and then run microsoft malware removal:

http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.aspx


download and run this:

http://www.ccleaner.com/

Then get you a good antivirus / windows protection software.

You will probably have to uninstall and reinstall internet explorer or whatever browser you are using. I would download / have installer ready before you remove you internet browser.

Hope this helps.

Locked out of youtube, minecraft.net, and google!

Sounds like a virus.

It will show up with either keywords or just for certain websites. The fact that the survey is not working is liekly a good thing. When you click to take the survey the problem will usually get worse.

Take the computer to someone who can remove the virus properly without loosing your data.

If you can access other sites, try to find a reputable anti-virus software that will work with your computer operating system, and remove the virus on your own if you feel comfortable doing so.

How do I adjust my browser so that I can get to certain web sites

Sounds like your are blocked from web sites based on a firewall. Disable your antivirus fire wall. If you are at a school, they have many sites blocked and your are out of luck.
It could be a virus. Download and run MalwareBytes virus scanner.
Hope this helps. I would appreciate your feed back.

Just had a new aerial installed, pointing to a different transmitter, but I can't remember how to tune the TV, Suggestions welcome.

If you were to log on to the manufacturer's web site, I think you will be pleasantly surprised as usually one is able to download, by model number, Customer Instruction Manuals, list of Dealers for spare part supplies as required.

Just Google the manufacturer's name and follow the links. Make certain you are directed to the manufacturer's web site as some search engines direct you to other sites and they charge for the information that is normally free of charge.

I hope this helps.

My laptop won't let me into certain sites how do i unblock them

Hi rmackay934, if youre antivirus software does not allow you to access those websites consult your anti-virus provider. On other occasions you can try this solution:

In internet explorer, click Tools then click Options

then under security click Trusted Sites then click Sites

then type the sites that you feel it was blocked. Then click apply and click Ok.

Close and reopen the Internet Browser

Hope this helps....

What happens if i restore my whole computer and will a virus be removed?

If you do a complete reformat with the factory discs any viruses will be removed. Remember to back everything you want to keep up first on CD or DVD or thumbdrive.

Cant stay online. and cant pull up certain sites ie.myspace. may have virus

Some newer viruses block web sites, including sites of most popular virus removal software. If you have a virus removal tool on your machine, unplug from the web and try to run a full scan as the first step.

I can get to some sites but not others all of a sudden

I would download an antivirus program on another computer such as AVG. Burn that to a CD and install it on the infected computer. If it does not install, try booting into Safe Mode by hitting F8 before the Windows Logo appears when booting. Run a full scan of your computer after the antivirus program is installed. That may clean things up so that you can run a few more scans and will not need to reformat the entire computer.
