Cannot access MSDN newsgoups

[bob]

Hello

I can no longer access the MSDN newsgroups
(http://msdn.microsoft.com/newsgroups) using IE 6, the
main page comes up, but the list on the left always
says "unavailible". I've tried using other computers and
they work fine? Any Ideas?

Thank you.

Check your system for "hijackware".

I highly recommend using HijackThis
(http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/files/hijackthis.zip) to identify and
assist in the removal of these bad guys. **Post your files to

Also update your virus definitions and then run a full system scan. From
now on, do both daily.
