Firefox, IE8 and Safari all won't load google sites (inc. Gmail) and certain other random sites. Facebook and BBC sites don't have a problem for some reason. Can only access Yahoo mail via Safari, and Safari says Google etc. won't load because there isn't a response from the server.

URL of affected sites

http://www.google.co.uk; https://mail.google.com

Try uninstalling AVG. (Specifically the link scanner) Worked for me.

Rachelle, I'm in the same boat. Have you had any luck yet?

I have the same problem with gmail. the interest thing is when you switch to ie engine (via ie tab), everything is OK. At this point, if you switch back to Firefox, it works too.

Sorry for the delay, I'm abroad on holiday now and relying on net cafes to check my email...

I don't have AVG virus, so doubt this is the problem. In other news, my flatmate (who shares the same router connection) also says she's having problems with Google and certain other sites, so don't know if this means it's a router problem? I'm running Windows XP.

Frank - what's IE engine exactly? As I said, I've tried using IE normally and had exactly the same problems - am I missing a trick?
