Funny you should mention kids. How old are they? Have they installed any sort of bittorrent and accompanying PeerGuardian software on your machine? That is a common cause for this sort of thing.

Basically, PeerGuardian supposedly contains a list of all law enforcement and MPAA-affliated IP addresses. Then you can turn on your Limewire/Bittorrent client and share everything knowing that your Mac cannot make an internet connection to any machine on the IP blacklist.

actually it all started happening after my computer killing husband was on here, then everything started acting up.... web pages not loading right freezing up, crashing, and now this site not opening

My wife would respond to that "Husbands? Even worse!"

I think we have identified the culprit. Now the question is how to find out what was done and how to undo it.

could he have downloaded something? he's pretty much computer ******** 😉 so he doesn't know?

how can I check?

You could run the System Profiler and post the contents here. I will be a long post, but that's life. Hopefully there will be some red flag in that list. If not, there is probably some system misconfiguration somewhere. That will be harder to track down.

See if you might have this malware redirecting DNS queries...

Get MacScan...

Open System Preferences>Network>Configure>Proxies Tab, make sure none are set, like for HTTP & HTTPS.

Apple menu > About this Mac > More Info > Save as > File format: Plain text

Was there a file called file named "plugins.settings" in /Library -> Internet Plug-Ins?

OK, that wasn't the problem then.

In System Preferences>Accounts, make a new Admin account, log into that one & see if Safari can get to your site.

I don't blame you, but I'm going to have to mull this a bit & get back to you... or maybe another has an idea now... I did, but forgot now what it was! 😟

Oh, is this hooked to a Router or a Modem? Who is your ISP?
