I cannot reach checkout on Amazon. I get a Connection Was Reset message

I cannot reach checkout on Amazon. Nor can I move freely to my Account. I have tried signing in with other names and other email addresses but equally unsuccessfully. I have disabled anti virus (Avast) and Windows Firewall, cleaned cookies etc. I have spent some time with both Amazon and my server (PlusNet) trying to resolve this. It also occurs with Internet Explorer and Safari.

The problem lies within my own computer but doesn't seem to effect any other site than Amazon. The Connection Reset message does occur frequently, whether this is normal or not I do not know, but when retried usually goes away when surfing elsewhere

I can access Amazon using a neighbour's computer.

Thank you brinda. I hav eread the article you mention and have again cleared both cache and cookies but to no avail. I am still getting a "The connection was reset" message. Amazon tell me that he fault is with me rather than at their end as otherwise I would not be able to log in on a neighbour's computer.
