Cannot even open rccrawler website....

This is weird and it happened to me yesterday and today.

From yesterday afternoon till yesday11.30pm roughly, I was not even able to open rccrawler website. I tried to open it atleast 15 times each hour. I was able to surf anything other than rcrawler website. I tried to open it in firefox and IE and both failed.

The same thing happened today afternoon while I was online here. Suddenly out of no where I was not even able to open this website. It ended few minutes back.

I asked couple of my friends from India to log on to the website and they were able to open it without any issue.

I tried pinging this website through command promt and the result showed 100% packet loss.

I have a valid antivirus and always have the firewall active. What kind of settings could have been tampered?

I got locked out once again a few minutes back so I did a rootkit scan.

I guess I got the culprit in my system.

The file that was locking rccrawler was probably idmwfp.sys (something related to Internet download manager)

antivirus caught it as a rootkit and it was not able to kill it. I simply searched the file and shift deleted it. And the next moment I was able to open rccrawler.
