CNN site hates my PC

[Beirut]

When I go to the CNN.com site, my net freezes up and I get an error message. "IE has encountered a problem and needs to close... yaddah-yaddah." I get this nine out of ten visits. I'm a news junkie and this is killing me.

I run AVG 8.5 and Ad-Aware every day, I run Clean Cache once every week or two, and I don't have this problem on any other site. Only CNN.com. Been like this for months.

Any idea what's going on?

Thanks.

Ping cnn.com in cmd. See if that works. Maybe try with a proxy or a different browser.

Ping cnn.com in cmd.

Sorry, but my little brain understands not what you speaketh.

Use FireFox?

Your problem could be caused by alot of things- anywhere from problems with the site to a corrupt plugin or malware. I've also heard the AdAware isn't up to snuff anymore- you might want to try something like SuperAntiSpyware.

Start, run, "cmd"

You will see a DOS screen. Then type the following:
ping cnn.com

Copy paste the results, Beirut.

Maybe CNN is IP blocking Canada? It could happen. They've never apologized for Celine Dion or Bryan Adams. They deserve whatever happens to them.
