So, I tried installing Avast! to protect my computer. Well, apparently that server is down, all the time. Microsoft.com, oh, that's down too, Norton, McAfee, Which those 2 i won't use, but those websites are constantly down also. Anyone have this problem and know how to get rid of it?

Can you ping the sites you are trying to access?

I tried pinging them awhile back on another computer and it didn't work, I think I checked the proxy settings and messed with them, but in the end I just reinstalled Windows to fix a bunch of other problems. The joys of buying a used laptop. I do find it funny how Asus gives you disks with the drivers on it with a netbook. Glad I had an external DVD drive handy.
