Re: Any site but Microsoft?

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi guys. This is now getting really interesting.

I've got a HJT over in the other forum which may now be irrelevant as
i no longer think it is malware but the source is very very interesting
so i am looking here for some thoughts. Basically nothing in my house,
none of my 3 pc will connect to any site that has anything to do with
microsoft. Even more disturbing, my PSP browser will not connect to
Microsoft. So that leads me to beleive it must be the router or my ISP.
My nice neighbour let me connect to his wireless router and hey presto,
hello www.microsoft.com. So, the big question, is it my router or is
the problem with the ISP. your thoughts are greatly appreciated - and
has anyone else heard of this weird anomaly?

Check the time-stamps, Tom - he posted both at the same time, near
enough - I simply responded to the first I saw

Which part of Noel's reply about not posting the log here did you not
understand?

Wehn doing house calls for our computer club, I always submit the log file
on the HijackThis web site for their automated analysis. This provides an
analysis in about 20 seconds. It has been a success most of the time.



automated tools tend not to be terribly effective - but they are good for
first-port-of-call pointers. The problem is that many of them aren't updated
often enough, and well enough, and removal of some malware can cause more
problems than it solves if not approached in the correct manner.

the site you mention is 'OK' - just - but is cashing in on the HJT name
without, AFAIK, the author's approval, and should for that reason if no
other, be avoided
