Can Not Download From Microsoft.com

Hello guys!

As the title indicates, I can not download ALL products from Microsoft.com and some others.
Examples of Microsoft's products are...
1) Internet Explorer
2) IntelliPoint (a mouse software)
3) Windows Update
4) Patches of Games which are the products of Microsoft
and so on...
Also,
1) MSN Messenger
2) Virsu Definition for Norton Antivirus
are the ones that I cannot download...

I don't know why it happens, but everytime I go to the link, where you download these softwares, I go to the page "Cannot Find Server"


I also have an another problem... that is, I think, related to my main problem.
The problem is that I can not go to specific sites.
The sites that I can not go are...
1) "Support" page on Microsoft.com (instead of going to Support page, I go to *"Freeesearch.com" after reaching the page "Cannot Find Server")
2) Pages that gives me "Forms" to ask a question

*the title says Freesearch, but the url says "Freeesearch"...
the specific url is
http://www.freeesearch.com/?ou=http...?prd=ie&clcid=0x0411&pver=6.0&ar=ienews&os=N6


Thank you!
(sorry about my English... I am a Japanese...)


OS; Windows XP
Connection; Cable
(well, shall I give you more info?)

Probably there is a spyware / adware / hijacker on your system. Run Spybot and get rid of them. After that everything should be fine again.
Download Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 from here: http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download

Thanks
But, i tried this many times and still, I could not solve this problem.
I found many parasites (adware, etc.) but none of them were the cause of this problem...

oh, is it normal thing that you see "Default Screensaver" as "Possible Hijack" on Spybot?
because everytime I run S&D, I see it...

In the IE open tools/internet options, go to tab "privacy" and click on edit. Delete the microsoft.com entry if exists.

OMG!!
I typed "can not download" on the search box on the Synmatec (dunno I spelled it correct or not) and I got results.
I found some interesting(?) ones and clicked it!
"Cannot Find Server"
... Every page I tried, it came up w/ "Cannot Find Server"
::sigh::

I hope this experience helps.

Glad to hear that!
Since your download is working, download all the patches and updates from Microsoft. Keeping your system up-to-date reduces (but not eliminates ;)) the risk of getting your system messed up again.

Most likely...
A system infected with Mydoom cannot access sites form Microsoft, major antivirus sites, security-related sites, etc.
