I can't access accessorygeeks.com

I looked through the hosts file, and see that SpyBot added line for accessorygeeks.com and www.accessorygeeks.com
it also added both to Restricted Sites in Internet Explorer.

Just curious as to why...?

I ordered from them before, albeit a year or so ago. Just curious why it's a "bad site" :bigthumb:

Good question. McAfee SiteAdvisor doesn't seem to have a problem with the site. From McAfee SiteAdvisor:
accessorygeeks.com Web Safety Ratings from McAfee SiteAdvisor

accessorygeeks.com

We tested this site and didn't find any significant problems.

yeah, like I said.. I ordered there before.
It's a legitimate site that runs their online shop via Yahoo.

SpyBot has blocked via hosts file:
accessorygeeks.com
www.accessorygeeks.com
site.accessorygeeks.com

SpyBot added to IE Restricted Sites list:
accessorygeeks.com
www.accessorygeeks.com
site.accessorygeeks.com


I have removed all lines from the hosts file and restricted sites list, but still cannot get to the website.
When pinging, I am now actually hitting the IP address, instead of 127.0.0.1.
But when attempting to open the page via IE, it does absolutely nothing.

I'm going to try FireFox here in a min, don't believe I currently have it installed.

But I would say it should be removed because it is a legitimate site :)

I've just tried to access the site in question and Spybot says it is a source of VirtuMonde.
