Well i just got an old laptop (pentium II) cause my laptop got stolen.
I get the message "cannot find server" in 3/4 of the page i am trying
to open. My ISO say i have a virus/trojan but my virus scan didnt show
any. So before reformating my disk i wanted someone opinion...help!
 
Hi Patrick,
Not all virus/malware scanners are the same. Are they uptodate?.... probably
not. Check your malware software for updates and try again.

That aside, (you should try to ensure that your computer is malware free
regardless), "cannot find server" errors can be caused for a number of
reasons - Firewall settings, Hosts file, Third-party software (netnanny)

You are probably better off reformatting rather than going through all the
different unfamiliar (and unwanted) software that may be installed on your
laptop.

Regards.

From the general context of the message, I think it was just a typo error
meant to say 'My ISP'.
