HI, I can't get on download.com, when I type in the URL it just keeps a loading page on opera + IE. Plus I thoguht I might be banned so I tried an online proxy and the website opened properly. I really want to get back on download.com. I believe I didn't do anything I only have commented on 1 peice of software and uploaded 1 peice of software. Please help me someone.

DNS Problem
Jun 1, 2007 7:08AM PDT

I don't know if this may be the problem but it is an answer. You are with Telewest Broadband (if i remember correctly), they recently upgraded their DNS database and software. Alot of telewest customers have been saying they can't get on to this and that website. mabey Download.com is one of the unlucky one to fall out of the DNS database but the name is still in it so that it thinks that it still has the entrie when it dosent.

Just your HIJACKTHIS log.

If you don't know what that is, put the word into google.com
