Something's wrong with my computer

[DizzyDi]

Its not a HUGE problem, but its sure is annoying as hell. Google.com won't load at ALL! I can't access my gmail, and I'm forced to *shudder* use lame-o search engines like ask.com and whatnot. Has anyone encounted a problem like this? I've tried all sorts of things. Defragging the hard drive, system restores, looking through my recent downloads to see if it was anything I've downloaded,checked my firewall and blocked sites/apps, but so far, NOTHING. Whats going on?

Well, in your internet explorer/firefox, they might be blocked through those (which isn't part of your firewall). Other than that........... no clue

try getting to it by typing in google on one of the lame-o other search engines and clicking the link that appears on the results page.
