Can you give us more information. What exactly goes wrong when you search specific words?

So you’re saying that certain words give you search results, and other words give you a blank page? That’s a bit strange.

Try deleting your Temporary Internet Files, and your Cookies. It also wouldn’t hurt to uninstall any toolbars you may be using with your web browser, and delete any plugins. If that doesn’t work, try scanning your computer for spyware.

If you need additional help, let us know what version of Windows, and what web browser you are using. Thanks.

well, by my last faked email, it isn’t content that is blocked :S
well, I did. unlike most, I don’t install 50+ toolbars and plugins.
there was no spyware or anything.
I guess I won’t find that picture of a furry hamster :(
all te others don’t look funny enough.
anyway, this seems to happen everywhere. it happens on opera, on internet explorer and even on “steam”, a program with a built in web browser.
what the hell’s going on on my computer? X(

I wonder if you have parental controls turned on. Have you tried logging into your computer with a different account? Possibly with the Administrator account?

I am the administrator account :(
this is my own laptop, so they haven’t tampered with it

What anti-spyware and antivirus software have you run so far?

Try resetting your router (there should be a reset hole in the back), or simply remove your router from the equation. If you need a new cable/dsl modem, you’ll have to contact your ISP.
