Any Geeks Out There???
Marc and I are having a strange problem with out computer. Usually, when we want to get to a website we either type website.com or www.website.com and poof... we are there. Now, all of a sudden, you have to add in the "http://" before the website otherwise it will just sit there.
Any idea of why this is happening and how to fix it?

Sorry...cant help..but I went to Ocean City, NJ the other day and I saw a couple that reminded me of you and Marc...Dylan and all :)
ReplyDeleteMy parents had that problem with their computer and when I went to look at it, the first thing I did was an AdAware search and it found all kinds of adware. There were a couple of viruses as well.
ReplyDeleteThe minute I removed that stuff, it went back to normal. I don't know exactly which adware or virus was causing the problem, or maybe it was unrelated, but that's my only suggestion.
I'm a "geek" but not a computer geek :)
ReplyDeleteI am having the same exact problem and it just started on Friday. We have Comcast and I called them and they said that it had something to do with my antivirus but they couldn't help me. Argh!
ReplyDeleteI had the same thought as Jane. Ad-Aware is a free download and a life-saver.

ReplyDeleteI took care of it idiot - and do me a favor - stay off my blog. You were talking about a good friend of mine!
ReplyDeleteYou may want to consider getting a firewall program you can get Zone Alarm for free. I've used that and now I'm using Norton Systemworks and Firewall. In 10+ years on the internet, I've only gotten one really nasty virus. Another thing, switch to Firefox it's safer to use than internet explorer.
