I have NIS 2006 - Defs up to date, and Windows Defender installed and running....no spyware as far as I know but a scan is running as we speak....

Any ideas whats caused it?

this happens randomly from time to time...

iirc it is something to do with the proxy servers, but nothing really to worry about.

I tried 2 different proxies and the 2nd one worked. Where as my default proxy doesn't.

Glad it's not just me....

For the record - WD scan was clean!

The proxy that worked was swan-cache-6.server.ntli.net for info. But I expect there are loads more that would work if you tried them.
