Why won't some website links work on my computer?

Question

Some sites i've noticed (ESPN, blockbuster, facebook) won't load on my laptop. I've tried both firefox and internet explorer. They work on my other computer. I don't think this is a popup blocker issue or anythign like that. Any idea as how to fix this problem?

Answer 1

Check your anti-virus protection program. Some of the programs block normal sites thinking they are harmful. If you open up the program, there should be a tab or section for block websits, make sure those aren't on there.
