Very unusual problem

[nadeem82]

hi,

iam using a dell inspiron 1150 with dual boot of WinXP and Gentoo linux. A very weird problem has suddenly appeared. I cannot suddenly access some sites, (gmail.google.com, cannot login in to msn messenger, cannot access my university mail account website) all other sites seem to work fine but i jus cant get these sites, it jus says 'Connecting to gmail.google.com..." in status bar... and the most weird part is :

-i have the same problem in both Gentoo and windows
-im on a network with other computers connected to a DSL router and they all can access these sites
-i tried using their connection (IP) but am still able to get through

pls. help me as im running out of all ideas as to what suddenly went wrong..

regards,
nadeem

could be spyware related but not shure, did you run all your spyware programs in both safemode & normal windows mode ?

Also after you run them once, run them a second time to get all the bots under control.
