This sounds suspiciously like something or someone has altered your hosts file. This is a windows file that allows you to primitively block access to a domain/website.
To check this you need to open notepad,
then open a file in the following directory where your operating system is installed (probably C drive)
Windows/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
Use the find function in notepad to find the website name in this file.
If you find the name then you have one of two options
1) delete the line (however whatever put it into your hosts file may do it again, so)
2) put a # in the first character on the line (this says to ignore the line)
save as hosts with no file extension to the same directory it came from. Make sure that there is no extension as notepad has a bad habit of putting an extension on even when you tell it not to.

this is what I got:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
The site I can't view is livejournal.com so I don't see anything about it there.
