I recently had lots of spyware and a few trojans, and since cleaning all that up I haven’t been able to access my yahoo mail. I can get on messenger and get as far as the page with inbox and bulk mail then when i click on either inbox or bulk mail I get page can not be displayed. Any ideas what the problem can be? I deleted temp files, cookies, cache and tried rebooting that has not worked. Thanks Danu
This is probably a longshot but it’s worth a try
Do you have anything like Norton Anti-Virus running now? Sometimes that stupid thing blocks me from GMail and other things for no reason, and I have to disable then reenable it so it lets me access those things. If that doesn’t help but you do indeed have some kind of live scanner (constantly monitoring your computer) then I suggest trying to lower the security or email scanning options to see if you are able to view it on the lower settings. It might be that the program is trying to scan or something and blah blah blah and wham you get a page cannot be displayed error. 🙂 just my guess 😀
I am having the same problem. Have you had any luck resolving this issue?
I also can’t access the windows updates and some other sites. I think it is definitely a firewall issue, but I haven’t found any settings that look suspect.
Any ideas would be appreciated?
