Is Spybot website down ?....I have been trying to access it for a few days now.My firefox browser states..'cannot connect to server ...www.safer-networking.org cannot be found..'

I still get the same message with Internet Explorer.My OS is Vista Home Premium Service Pack 2.

Spybot works but i cannot update as i receive a message 'Error retrieving file.

Have checked my AVG Firewall settings and is ok...any ideas what is occurring ?

Hi Sunlap,

:snwelcome:


Is Spybot website down ?No, as you can see. :bigthumb:

Perhaps Malware blocks you from connecting to SaferNetworking.

Step # 4 should help you:

After following above steps ...nothing worked.I downloaded another Malware detection program and this found nothing...more and more headscratching...Why does Firefox log onto various sites but not Spybot website? Nor could i use Microsoft Windows Update feature.Since i used System Restore feature in Vista and logging onto Spybot website worked.All i can put this down was installing a dodgy program which for some reason my AVG malware/virus scan did not pick up..a lesson to be learned
