Unable to connect to yahoo.com, google.com

Strangely, I seem to have lost my ability to connect to www.yahoo.com and www.google.com, and it seems to be a network settings or configuration issue I have with Mac OS X (I do not have this problem in Windows so it rules out the network, also this problem happens on multiple networks, i.e. WiFi hotspots). Can anyone tell me what got changed? It seems like there's an outgoing port block in the OS itself or something...

Below is an example from the command line of my inability to establish a connection to port 80 of www.google.com, as well as my success in connecting to www.apple.com.

Now... how to easily reconfigure that bugger so it doesn't load upon boot...


The easiest way is uninstall is to download a new installer, which comes with an uninstaller.

If you want to try to adjust the configuration, you would probably have to hack around on the launchd plist file and/or change its configuration files. For that, you would have to ask on PeerGuardian's support forums.
