Thanks I have had the same problem on occasion. Never lasted long. I always think I have malware when it occurs and I start checking. Never found anything.

I am assuming you are using IE8 ?
If you have another browser ( Firefox , Opera , Chrome ) check the links in those browsers , if they come up then it is a problem with IE , I recently had the same problem .... sort of , could not log into facebook , I had to uninstall then do a clean install of IE8. | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number HP

Can IE8 actually be uninstalled? I thought it was buried in the OS and couldnt be completely removed? | | My System Specs | | Computer type PC/Desktop
