    Not sure i'm in the right forum but...
    My little cousin was using my computer when I was out and was on a load of dodgy free game websites etc now websites like facebook etc just wont load.
    It just says "can't diplay webpage"
    I tried to troubleshoot it but windows couldn't diagnose any problems.
    What should I do

    Which ISP provider are you using because Vodafone/Perlico/Eircom customers have been experiencing outages since yesterday and it's still ongoing. It is affecting certain websites particularly ones outside of Ireland including Facebook. This maybe your problem rather than your cousin. Check other threads in the broadband forum

    Probably not your cousins fault, try accessing:
    www.ubuntu.com
    www.boxee.tv
    www.drbig.co.uk
    www.digg.com

    If you can't access those sites, among others, then it is an ISP issue.
    I'm with Vodafone at home.
    Same thing happened about a month(?) ago and in the end it turned out it was the DNS server attack.
