I can get into any site but Google, Yahoo and Altavista.
The three of these getting down together is too much of a coincidence for me to understand. Could it be that some spyware like PerfectNav is blocking my access to them?
Google works fine for me.
prolly, cuz I can still get to them
I deleted PerfectNav and now it opens Google normally, but not Yahoo.
I haven’t had any problems with any of them.
Nothing here either. Maybe it’s just the Yahoo/Google/AltaVista Brazil server?
No, the brazillian servers were working okay for me. I ran spybot and now ALL of them work well.
Screw you, PerfectNav staff, for having hijacked my connection.
This is kind off topic, but then again no thread here ever stays completely on topic, but I would like to introduce a new search engine I just discovered. Try www.vivisimo.com. It’s unique in that when you search for something it breaks your search down into categories. It’s helped me a lot for reseach at college.
Uh, sort of like Northern Light? 
What do you mean?
Well, if an Ad-aware/Spybot/Spy Sweeper combo can’t kick that damn spyware off, nothing will.
