    You guys are indispensible when all the support lines are close down.

    I have a new PC, Intel core TM2, 1GB RAM, 250GB storage running on 1GB broadband. Yet I cannot access Hi5, it keeps timing out with the usual crap; "The page cannot be displayed - The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The Web site " etc. I have a myriad Christmas messages I can't reply to.


    It is not the site, as everyone else I have asked gets through straight away.
    Neither is it the provider as other NTL users access Hi5 easily.
    I have tried:-
    - checking and correcting the Internet Options
    - temporarily shutting down Bullguard, at a risk
    - deleting Yahoo and Google toolbars altogether (you dont need half a dozen firewalls)
    - installing Java Runtime Environment
    - installing & running Firefox to try and bypass IE.

    Nothing works. Please can anyone help?

    Hi there! Merry Christmas and all that :)

    Please go to the Malware Removal forum and follow the stickies at the top of the forum. I suspect that this is a malware issue, and if this turns out to be the case, you'll need to make a new thread in that forum with the appropriate details.

    Thanks!

    Hi Goldfish

    I followed your instructions but found that the Sticky thread was closed, so I started another thread. Alas, All the malware cops found nothing, even Adaware! So I havent yet posted an HJT analysis; is there any point? My only AV / IS is Bullguard which is hardly Norton in complexity.

    So I cannot work out what is stopping me. Whatever it is I dont think it is a malware matter though I have asked Chaslang for his ideas. What do you think?

    I have no troublw with any other site even the ActiveXand Flash-heavy ones, yet nobody else I chat to has trouble with Hi5; just me!

    I mean the damn double whammy is I cannot contact Hi5 for their views coz I can't get through! :eek:

    Other than being cut off from 95% of my online friends everything is cool. Happy holidays.

    Your ideas will be appreciated
