Hey playgrounders! How are you? I just wanted to ask you a quick question. How is your internet today? Is youtube working? google? yahoo? online gaming? wizards of the coast site?
When I try to go to these pages my internet isn't working, but I could enter the forum just fine. And the weird thing is a friend of mine has the exact same problem.

Have you noticed anything weird today?

Youtube, Google, Yahoo and everything I've been on Today have been doing just fine. Seems you have a bit of a local issue there, bud.

Ah, thank you. It's just that I have problems only with a few sites, so it doesn't make any sense.

There's a helpful site for queries like this: http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/

Saved me from some hassle in the past.

That sounds like Vundo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vundo) to me. You should get that checked out.

It could also be a local router that's down for the OP.

I would suggest running a trace route to pin down which connection along the way is having issues.

Vundo is a family of browser hijackers. Nasty stuff.

PM sent. I'd suggest you find a clean computer and look up how to remove it from there... otherwise you'll have to hunt for pages that will load, and that could take a while.

And it is indeed nasty stuff.
