Wikipedia won't work on my computer!?

I have decent internet in my apartment and use a cord instead of wireless because it is more reliable. Everything works fine, except wikipedia! For several days, only that site has refused to load! It won't even go to the main page. I've tried every URL possible, www, http, etc. NOTHING works. I've even gone and googled it and tried to click on the link. NOTHING. Why is it doing this??

run a temp file cleaner

you should try scan your computer/leptop with an antivirus or install an anti spyware.

I may not be able to xplain what it is but i may still help.

Answer:

You should try using FireFox and you should check your firewall.

Otherwise, go on about.com which has wikipedia on it.

en.wikipedia.com
