Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

[Skwor]

This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. I would appreciate any ideas as Profit is a very good UI and it would be a loss to stop using it.

When i try http://updater.pala.de it does not connect, I have tried:

-Adding 85.214.17.144 updater.pala.de to the system32\drivers\host file
-Deleting the entire ProfitUI Updater from the user/appdata folder
-Uninstalling java completly and re-installing it
-Turned off router firewall, never use windows firewall
-Turned of virus software
-Complete reboot after doing all of those at the same time

Still the connection is refused at http://updater.pala.de

Thank you for any input you provide.
