OTOTOT since you know windows let me ask a question. I have a dell machine with XP on it. Apparently it ships with the default standard of msft auto updates. Until I figured this feature out, msft was updating this machine automatically. I came in one day and SP2 was installed. Now, after SP2, I cannot get to many sites, like Alexa which I need for work. Doesn't matter too much because I am on mac now anyway. But this is a second machine. XP2 seems to think alexa is spyware and with MS's crappy security, they just shut access to the site down. Others too. I also can't see many ad banners on the right. Do you have any idea how I can enable this again? TIA (this is one of the things about MS that is totally and completely unacceptable and it has happened to thousands of Dell users since dell ships with this obscure option ON) Unable to connect Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.alexa.com. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
