Is this global or only me? imagine all the outlook users who depend on logging in from the home page...

Well, re-directing to country specific servers is ok, but how about let us manage what we see? if our system is set to english, let us read the english version...

Whoops Virus does exist after all, Whoops alright in my language now ok...

resetting IE? No effect and thanks for letting me do that FOR NOTHING!

It's probably just a server error - try it again later.

In Event Viewer, the blue online help link was down for quite a bit longer than that and even now, it doesn't take you to the previous tech articles and just gives you the box where you have to enter the application and Event ID and do your own search.

To determine if it's something on your computer that's causing it, then retry in Safe Mode with Networking.

From the error message it does look like the problem is on their end.

I reset my IE earlier this evening and it came back with the default MSN page, so something must be working now.

After a reset I can get it coming back with either Google or the MSN page but don't know why it's either one or the other.
