Why are a lot of pages saying that they aren't available?

I just noticed that a lot of webpages are saying that they aren't available. For example, I tried to go to my yahoo mail and charter mail. The webpages at first work fine. As soon as I choose mail, the page says that it is not available. Could this be a virus? I had a lot of pop-ups today, and I'm not sure if one managed to get through and install a virus without me even clicking it. I'm afraid that I might have a virus. Can someone help?

    Not as likely, try typing mail.yahoo.com and see if the login page or redirect works from there.

    Or mail.charter.com

    Play around with the http:// and https:// on the prefix too before trying to link to the mail also.

    I am not saying your 100% not infected, but its not likely a virus .. .it is probably your ISP (Internet Service Provider) and/or a firewall issue . Try disabling your firewall completely and trying to connect to websites, and if it works, its your firewall... if not .. it may be your ISP (maybe temporary maintenance) if it is all the time, regardless of the "firewall status", contact your isp as they should be willing to help walk you through connection issues

    Good Luck,
