Ok so I'm having a problem getting to websites. I get a 'transferring data from google analytics' at the bottom of the screen until it just times out. :( This means I can get to facebook, livejournal, gmail and the epoch boards but I cannot go to websites like World of Warcraft. help!

There may be nothing you can do but the first step is to try and determine where the problem lies.

Google Analytics is part of google AdWords i.e. Google ads. It is possible that you are having trouble getting to websites that use AdWords for their revenue.

It is worth trying to uses a different browser if you haven't yet. Especially if you have access to an ad blocker plugin.

Another option is that you are having some tracing issues. Try going to a site like http://network-tools.com. Run a ping and a trace on a website you are having trouble with and also on one that you can get to. That will help you determine whether the problem is with your router, your internet service providers routing or somewhere else. If your ping and trace route are resolving then it likely is a problem with Google Ads.

for some reason I still cant get spybot to work but ad-aware is updating again and running fine. Housecall is helping.

I can now get to the world of warcraft website again!
