I've been tryin to access this website for the past 2 days, it won't load

on my end, acts like the site is down, which I find hard to believe.

The site is VistaPrint. I use them for business cards and I need to order

some and can't get the site to come up.

Can some of you see if the site comes up for you.

If you have Comcast, their DNS servers have been down for a while. Whether you have Comcast or not, change your DNS servers to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Those are Google's public DNS servers. They're always up.

I use www.opendns.com Works well for me. Never tried others though.

Nice link to bookmark, thanks.

Found the problem. Vistaprint.com was in the "restricted sites" list in

Windows Internet Options. Actually there were about a 1000+ sites

there and no matter what I did I could not get the site to remove.

I'd remove it, and it would come right back.

Did some searching and found that all the blocked sites are listed in the

registry, found the keys, removed them, and as quick as I removed them

they came right back.

You ready for this, I got the answer, and fixed it.

It was my "SpyBot Search & Destroy" program. Theres an option in it

called "immunization", when you apply it that adds a shitload of sites

automatically to your blocked sites and you can NOT remove any of them

on your own.

I had to uncheck everything in the immunization screen and undo it.

Funny thing is I had SBS&D installed on my pc (currently using my wifes) but

must have never used the immunization feature.

Of course the bigger question is why SBS&D blocked a legitimate business

site????????

I will not go to your pr0n site David.

It wasn't a trick. Just another weird thing I had to figure out, but I got it.

Actually its interesting what it was, and probably something for others to

check if they have issues accessing a site and have SBS&D installed.
