Problem opening Foxnews

[Bob_Young]

Whenever I try to access Foxnews.com, I get an error pop-up saying "Internet Explorer cannot open the web site www.foxnews.com". This appears after the home page at foxnews has loaded. Everything looks normal, but nothing is active and you can't scroll.

If I hit [OK] on the pop-up box, it sends me to mywebsearch.com Sometimes I can find a link to a Foxnews article elsewhere and get in that way; but that approach has been a bust lately. Did an AVG virus scan this AM which came back clean.

Has anyone else run into this? If so, did you find a solution or can you think of anything I should try? XP got some updates about a week ago. The problem appeared a few days afterward.

Thanks.
Bob

Bob, my wife keeps the TV on and with Fox News on the screen most of the day, so I usually get my news elsewhere on the Internet, but I just now tried www.foxnews.com and it worked fine for me. I scrolled up and down, clicked on some of the stories, etc. I'm using Norton SystemWorks instead of AVG, and I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium, but I would doubt that's the difference. But of course, I have no idea what the problem might be, unless it's a problem with your ISP, in which case I would expect it to be temporary.

Just check and it is working for me: Using Windows XP SP3 with latest updates, Norton antivirus, and PC Tools Spyware Doctor.

Works for me with Vista.

Thanks for checking, guys. I'll try to get ahold of the ISP tomorrow or Monday.
