    Default To any Spybot moderators/administrators concerning donations.

    I am one of the many people cued up in the malware removal forum waiting for help. Due to the infection on my system I believe I am being blocked from quite a few websites including the Spybot homepage, Spybot updates and pretty much everything Spybot except the forums. This also includes the Support, Download and Donate sections. I realized this after attempting to make a donation earlier. While clicking on any of those links I get the "server not found" error.
    Just wondering if you are aware of this and if it is a common problem or maybe just me?

    I hope this is the correct forum for this. If not I apologize.

    Thanks so much,
    Mike aka okmike

    okmike,

    Once your problem is analyzed, you may find this is part of it:

    AplusWebMaster,

    Your reply to my post was very interesting and most likely right on the money since I am no longer am able to reach the microsoft update website as well as many others. My email program is also toast. Do you think the info you provided should be passed on to whomever analyzes my problem or will they most likely know all of this?

    Thanks for you insight,

    okmike

    Hello okmike,

    It is common for malware vendors to block help sites, security tools and related domains.

    Once a helper responds to your topic you will be able to ask questions in your thread.

    Just in case bookmark this link: Post here if still waiting for help in the Malware Forum, (AFTER) FOUR days

    Best regards.
