Microsoft site not opening in the browser
Recently I faced a strange problem on my computer . None of my browsers were able to open a microsoft site . So naturally i couldn’t upload or download any thing .I crosschecked my firewall settings AV settings but still it was of no use . After some googling i found the following link .It solved my problem.

Given URL will resolve the problem. It is fantastic.
Hi Vinayak,
Test your system with spyware doctor or any malware tool . The steps i mentioned work normally for most of the time . But these settings aren’t usually changed by normal user browsing . There are however few viruses that block your access to antiviral sites . The best way to sense a virus attack is if you try to access any popular antivirus sites then even those pages wont open .

Hi! Bhupendra Singh from Navi Mumbai, I had tried this but still not able to view the Microsoft web site. I am using OS windows server 2003 enterprise edition. Plz suggest me if u can help me out in this regards.
Thanks & Regards.
Hi Bhupendra,
Check whether you are behind a firewall or if your admin has blocked the site .In case you are not behind a firewall or the site is not blocked , then its better if you scan your system with a good anti virus (Few of my friendss’ system were infected with the conficker virus and they showed similar symptoms as yours ).
