From the contents listing I see using GetRight, that page is also one of the most cluttered, junked-up things I've encountered lately. This is not a browser compatibility thing - at least I don't think so. The reason for going to the site was because the on-line anti-virus update was failing. THAT was when I found that seamonkey was having trouble, but the problem is not seamonkey - it's something deeper inside pigging windows. This morning I quite happily started the machine - all the startup stuff has been disabled so it's only using windows drivers/services at present. I downloaded SM1.1.15 - installed it and navigated around for a bit avoiding known problem sites. But any attempt to go to M$ or pctools sites gives a dns error. And if i try to ping those problem addresses - address not found. But the other machines here ping pctools happily and get addresses for M$. It's only THAT machine which complains. Since the important stuff IS working, I thought I'd just ignore these problems despite the fact that we can't update the anti virus, but I'm also having a problem getting email working. It will not connect to the email server. THIS flagged up one thing which may be relevant.

What you are seeing is more than likely the aftereffects of the virus/trojan/bot - or you haven't completely eradicated it. What was the name of it? Some of the latest nasties out there are designed specifically to block those sites and keep the AV from updating/working. I'd recommend: booting into safe mode running your AV/AS tools from there. And then boot with a startup CD and go through the machine again. BitDefender (http://www.bitdefender.com/) has one that is based on Knoppix (linux) that you can download from here: http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/ burn the iso to a CD then boot the machine from that CD. BD also have a very nice linux package: http://download.bitdefender.com/repos/# that you can use to install.
