microsoft websites not found

[jack]

I cannot open ANY microsoft website,i.e. windows
update,home..etc. Running McAfee anti-virus, no virus's
found. all other websites seem to open. I get the
message''Page not found'' Unable to connect..not
available. Is there any imbedded worms or trojans that may
be affecting this. I have an HP Pavalion 521n, Win XP
home. Only startes within the last 7 days

I had the same problem last night. I posted this question
on the accesability section and a person said they had the
problem also and contacted MSN support. They stated they
were having problems. He then said everything was working
afterward. It must have been a server problem. Hope all
works when I get home. He also said he had cable modem,
as do I. Maybe that had something to do with it.
