For about a week, now, my home computer hasn't been able to connect directly to fudzilla.com. This problem exists with IE8 and Firefox 3.

However, I can access it through a proxy, such as TheCloak or Hotspot Shield.

I'm using AVG Free 8.5 and can't find anything on the AVG forums about this.

I don't know much about this, but I remember seeing that a "host" file in the Windows folder might contain a list of blocked sites. The hosts file I have only contains a generic explanation of the workings of this file.

I know that Fudzilla.com is accessible, since I can easily access it at work or through a proxy from my home computer. I'm not aware of any other web site that is blocked.

Ideas?
