I have not been able to access overture.com since last week, via the domain name, the link on Yahoo! or even the IP address. I ran the latest version of McAfee and CW Shredder I could find (I can't seem to access the merijn site either, but it is frequently down anyway.) but it doesn't seem to find anything. One clue I had a problem was my old cwshredder.exe file is gone. I can also get through to overture on other machines on my inhouse network, so it's only my computer. Anyone aware of this spyware which blocks overture and where I can find a shredder for it or which version kills it?

Flush your cookies. Delete them all. Then try again.

Thanks, that did it!
Fortunately I didn't have to delete ALL of them, just the ones which appeared related to overture and Yahoo, and then close and re-open the browser.
