Can't access Google?

I am having trouble accessing google services (google.com, google talk, google map). Whenever I tries to go google.com, I get message such as "The address is invalid" or "Unable to connect." I've tried to check the other computers that are connect to the same network and they don't seem to have a problem....





I've tried both IE and Firefox. Neither worked. Also checked on privacy setting....





Is it possible that my computer is infected with some bug? Or Google is blocking me?





Help!!!

Can't access Google?
Most likely causes:


There might be a typing error in the address.


If you clicked on a link, it may be out of date.





-Check the address for typing errors such as


ww.example.com instead of


www.example.com





-If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.





-If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.





that help? no? didn't think so...
Reply:Did you accidentally block it in your firewall?
Reply:I'm here in NJ - had no problem calling up Google. Maybe too many people in your area were on at the same time. Wait a while, then try again.
Reply:well you said you cant access all the services not just browsing google.com then try some site that redirects you to google like kickme.to or any thing that bypasses proxies if you still cant access the site the it will surely be blocked by some firewall near you ( your firewall or the isp's firewall [ here they put their own firewall] ) if you can access it that will be great then try to check the options of you browser and any thing related to the internet like popup blockers and parental watch software etc








if that all didnt work , try to contact your isp :(
Reply:Google doesn't block you. You're either behind a firewall or malware is causing you problems. Run a free virus scan at www.mcafee.com

Reply:Did you somehow block google in your firewall? That would be my best guess.
Reply:well you obviously pissed off google!
Reply:I'm not sure why but sometimes I have problems just entering in the address without the world wide web tag, like this: address.com, instead of www.address.com. when I include the www. it seems to work. If this isn't the problem, I have no idea what it could be
