Charles Johnson over at Little Green Footballs Reports the Following:
I’ve confirmed that there’s some kind of problem on the Internet, that only seems to affect users of the Internet Explorer 7 web browser. Attempting to browse to many sites results in an ‘Operation Aborted’ error. No information about the problem elsewhere yet … stay tuned.
UPDATE at 8/1/08 7:20:27 pm:
It appears to be related to Sitemeter.com — browsing to their web site with Internet Explorer 7 produces the error too.
I use Gostats myself. I have used sitemeter in the past however. I also use firefox, so, I don’t have the problem, just reporting it for those that do.

The ultimate fix, sitemeter.com is the problem. If you go into your internet explorer security settings and add the following to restricted sites then the page loads.
