Possibly the govt. offices you're trying to reach have just added a security enhancement that's incompatible with Vista, if you've previously been able to access them but can't now, but in cases like that, there's usually some kind of message. And Vista's not that old. Also Senators need to be accessible to their constituents and wouldn't want to throw up random barriers which makes me think it's some kind of virus. Have you Googled the exact wording of the error?
