Cannot log onto certain websites microsoft being one of them

When i try to log on to cetain websites, microsft being one of them i am unable to. The webpage tries to load but either freezes or times out. I have no problems with most they load as usual. Another is hewlett packard, i am trying to download adriver for my printer, am able to get on website and go to printer in question but when i try to drivers page again it just freezes. I would be grateful for any help by the way i have noadaware, spyware doctor and am trying CA anti spyware and anti virua as i type

 

Hmmz, would need little more specified information.. For example some computer models even blocks automatically their opposite companies lol . Also Virus protection and firewall info plus if you have something like TheOnionRouter possibly installed. CA?

edit:

Fail to mention also that you can check restrictions ofm your browser multible ways best probably is to take anothe rbrowser software mozilla/opera what ever you are not using currently and see if that goes to those web sites.. another thing from this sit up might be some tweakers like FreshUI or X-setup and check what is resticted on your computer.

And one thing to remember this world is full of idiotic Internet providers.. Maybe it could just be mistake from ISP..

 

HI!
I have problems getting to Microsoft and other sites myself at times. Here's what works for me:
Start>Run
Type: cmd and press enter or ok
At the command prompt type: ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter Then exit out of Command Prompt and try going to Microsoft then.
NOTE the SPACE between ipconfig and the / in the command to type in.
