With a little luck this will help that he stops hunting a ghost.

Either that, or it simply means what the error says.

The URL (sic!) is not available and that does not mean that there is no content
on that server, just that there is no content available under THAT URL, which
makes sense considerung the use of gstatic.com.

It is NOT there for being browsed directly, it is there for static (hence the
name) content being loaded by other sites via javascript CSS, etc.
via dedicated URLs and direct browsing is diabled.

Anyway, good luck in hunting the “gstatic virus”, if you really find it, it
will have nothing to do with the URL gstatic.com, but OTOH please send me a
sample then.
