I think we all hate when this thing comes up-Especially on a web site that
we know exsists and one uses all the time. But whats worse is when you
connect to the net (I use dialup), & it happens on 99% of the sites you are
trying to visit. I logged off and restarted my connection and that seemed to
take care of my problem....this time.
Why does this happen?. At my moms pc, it happens very frequently. Especially
when I try to go to online virus/spyware scanner sites.
she has XP, norton 2005, spyware blaster, adaware, SS&D, sp1,ZA free
version.
thanks

Well, we update when we can and when it lets me. As far as pestpatrol, panda
virus online scan, & trendmicro online scanner, the cannot find server has
been frequently. Either of those programs freezes (especially when its
downloading the active x component) or the cannot find server thing pops up.
But going back to the cannot find server thing, WHy does that happen if I
know that the sites are valid ones?? If this kind of thing happens
constantly, what security issues might there be. I guess I could post to the
security forum, but maybe I wont need to. thanks again
