    Just got cable, dl'd 2 proggies right off, Kaspersky and Ghostsurf. Ghostsurf apparently blocked me from getting to the Avon website. Let me clarify, I can get there fine, but when I plug in my un/pass, I get the page not found error. I can get on fine with roomie's pc, though.

    Deleted both proggies, found some key strings for ghostsurf and deleted it. Ran a bunch of apps to clean out the registry, etc. And I still cannot get on to the secure site for Avon. This is, so far, the only site I'm having trouble with.

    help?

    Thanks

    I have dl'd and installed all certificates, run a bunch of proggies to clean out the registry, etc. Still nothing is working. I'm certain Ghostsurf is yet lurking around.

    Try ctrl alt delete and see if its running under processes, you will need to guess the name, probably something like ghostsurf.exe. If it is, it might be running under services. Control panel, administrative tools, services and look for it running there.

    Check your HOSTS file, make sure its not listed in there just in case.

    I don't see anything running. ergh! Tried going to the host file, didn't show up there, either. Just a tutorial on it. Just can't believe this is happening!

    ty for your reply.

    Friend of mine said that it sounds as if there is one firewall too many.

    I am connected with a router, which has it's own firewall. I deleted the firewall from my pc, yet I am still having trouble. O, and the cable company I'm with also has it's own firewall protection. Would those 2 together be the problem? I don't think so, because the roomie's pc is also connected to the router, and they have an additional firewall on and I can still access my site.

    everything is fine, now. Had to set the router to my pc settings, can access my site.
