drw61 -> OT- internet problems, (10/28/2010 1:36:46 PM)

On my main computer I have just switched to wireless internet and now I cant log into a lot of my for former sites. Matrix games will load the banner and the game symbol and then stop, it states “waiting for s7.addthis.com.” on the lower left.
CNN and my local Spokane news sites will not load, FoxNews will. Hulu will load, Netflix will not….very frustrating.
I have tried this with both IE8 and Firefox. I have turned off all popup blockers. I also tried the restore advanced setting, still cant get them to work. Could this be a bug? AVG did not find anything.
Any suggestions?

"s7.addthis.com" is a widely reported phishing and spam site. Maybe your antivirus is trying to block it.

Thanks for the reply, I tried that and still no luck. Will keep looking into it

If it states “waiting for s7.addthis.com.” maybe you have some malware from said site ?

My solution was using the free program NoScripts:

http://noscript.net/

Just need to remember that various new site won't load completely (seem to stall) until you give permanent or temporary permissions.

On another topic, I allowed Microsoft's Window Essentials to be downloaded and installed this last week and it screwed up my being able to use Mozilla for connecting to the internet, until I took it off my machines.

Thank you Buck! It is now working.
