I get this error message every time I visit some familiar sites (Yahoo, G-mail, Google, etc). I don't have any problem with my Internet connection and when I use the other P.C. here at home using the connection from another Internet service provider, I don't have any problem accessing the sites in question. Is this problem due to a virus? If not, what could be causing it?

Even i too get the same messages some time.When we try to connect to the server of a computer.There is a big load on it.Then it disconnects some requests.That is why we get the error connection interrupted.Refresh the page of the browser.The site you wanted will load normally.

Thanks for your response. I don't think it's the server. This thing happens all too often. Sometimes, like right now, it doesn't. I'm going to erase my hard drive just to be sure there aren't any viruses or trojans.

Its not a problem with the had drive.Its all related to network connections.

Could you try using a different browser, like Mozilla FireFox instead of Internet Explorer? Sometime IE can suck at loading pages for some reason. It's always something to consider, right?

I use FireFox most of the time. I tried using Opera and IE, but I still get the same results. Thanks for the suggestion, anyway.

There is a virus called "denial of service". It may be possible this is what you have. This virus takes on many forms and I have not heard much about that of late so not sure that is your problem. Have you a good virus checker that you keep up to date? If not it may pay you to get one and check it out. If that proves that there are no virus's involved then you need to look at the connection itself. Do you only get this problem with certain sites? I assume that from your comment that there are other sites you can access with no problems. If so it sounds more and more like a virus. Check that out. If you can't get to the internet at all with that computer it could be the way the computer is configured and you would need to change that based upon how you are connected. Difficult to know for sure without actually seeing the problem.
