I can't access hotmail or gmail. I get the message "unable to connect to the server". However I can access both msn and google main page and not problems with other sites. Any ideas of what to do?

I think Hotmail requires that you have third party cookies enabled. Did you disable third-party cookies?

Hi thanks for reply. No, not that I'm aware. How/Where can I check this? The only think I've done recently is install a different antivirus program and uninstall the old one which had expired. Not sure if this is linked to the problem...?
