Got an odd one....

Our Tauranga office has Telstra DSL...all sites working fine except anything to do with Google.
www.google.co.nz via our Webmarshal gives :

Access to this file has been denied because it violated a content rule.

File download (BIN, 5 bytes) was restricted by the content rule 'Block - Dangerous files'.

Turn off Webmarshal and get blank pages.

Google working at all other offices fine with no problems.

Ideas ?

Edit : Oh, can ping google.co.nz fine

The file its blocking is "hc3htcow" - when opened via Notepad, its empty... nothing in it.

I'm on telstra cable in Chch and it won't load on Opera and Firefox, yet it pings fine. (Google.com does work) However I've noticed a few other sites that don't load or don't load completely (no images).

Works for me... Have you checked for spyware?

Did a quick scan and nothing found. It was all working fine until about an hour ago.
I'll initiate a full scan but dont think it'll find anything as the server is pretty well locked down and only a few of us can access it.

Totally random co-incidence that I posted this today.

It's come right for me - not sure if it's because I updated Spybot S&D or something getting fixed Telstra-side.
