"Page Not Available"
Gadgetopia has an article on how some spyware is using an interesting technique to prevent its own removal. Seems that at least one piece of malware is hacking the hosts file to enter dummy addresses for the most popular spyware removal sites, such as Lavasoft or Ad-Aware. This causes all requests to access the sites to go into a black hole. Yet another thing to check when disinfecting a system.

Interesting. Have you heard of anything going around causing intermitent Internet slow-down. Almost sporadic DOS attacks? I seem to be getting a lot of error messages going to mainstream sites recently from multiple ISPs and networks. However, if you try a few times you'll get through.
