Hello.
For some reason or another, I can't for the life of me bring up a specific
website....
http://www.justbeenpaid.com/member/login I can open the website from my
computer at work but for some reason, I can't open it from my home computer.
It's the strangest thing. I can click on a million different online links,
and for some reason, this website always times out and I get the message that
I am unable to connect with your website. I run my online diagnostic test
that I see when I get my unable to connect message, and it reports that my
connection is ok, etc. I've posted this problem on a forum, and someone
suggested that I clear my cookies. I did that and still nothing. I just
don't know if it's my computer's security software or something (but usually
if that is the case, if it doesn't like a site, it will just bring up a big
warning sign alerting me). I contacted support for that website and they
informed me that nobody else has a problem?!!? Any experts out there who can
possibly make a suggestion on what might be going on!??! Also, when I was in
Internet Explorer 8, I looked at "Internet Options" under "Tools"...do I need
to change one or more settings in the "privacy area" the "security tab"
"advanced" tab that could take care of this??? Could it be a security
setting with my firewall, etc., etc.? Do I need to run "msconfig" and change
something there perhaps? Maybe it's my wireless network? (I was going to try
to connect my computer to the modem directly with a cable, rather than use
the wireless network) Maybe that will do the trick?
Thank you very much!! I hope you have a solution.

If this is the only site you can't load, look at the hosts file, clear
the browser's cache, and check security under Restricted Sites, Sites
button, that it wasn't somehow added to the list.

How to edit the local hosts file
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/219843/en-us

[IE]

Within IE properties, clear Temporary Internet Files and click Settings,
set to check for updated documents "Every Time". Click "Clear History",
click the Security tab and check "Always accept cookies. (These
settings can vary according to the version of IE you're running.)

If malware with a keylogger has infected your machine, one of its
"logical" steps could be to prevent access to the site. Run these:

Malwarebytes© Corporation

SuperAntispyware

Are you using the same version of the same browser on the two computers?

Have you tried with a _different_ browser on the home computer? (Lots of
us - including me - prefer Firefox to IE anyway; some of us prefer
Opera.)
