Web page won't open in FF or IE7

I used to have XP Home SP2 installed and everything opened up fine. Now I have XP Pro SP3 installed. I can't get into 1 particular web site which is Iwin.com. I was able to get into this site when I had sp2 on.

What gives????

Can someone please help me with this problem???


Thank you.

How did you change from XP Home SP2 to XP Pro Sp3?

For what it's worth XP Home SP3 can access that site. Perhaps it's a security issue?

Thanks for replying. I figured out the problem. It was Kaspersky Ad Blocker. All i did was add that site to the whitelist and now i can access the site again.

Hi, flippy.

Just to be sure you're aware...

Iwin.com is currently listed in the hpHosts database as a site engaged in malware distribution.

Proceed with caution.
