Hello,
I had the same problem for a couple of weeks - looked through loads and loads of articles and read lots of technical info - most of it useless. My fix, in the end was simple, my Malwarebytes Anti-Malware program had 'Website Blocking' checked. Unchecked and voila, everything back to normal. So simple that I never even thought to look at it. If you have a program like this then check it.

Hello kingwolf,
Try this 1.
1) As suggested by my friend "Ambucias" try accessing those sites putting them in
trusted zone.
2) Click on Start --> In search box, type firewall.cpl and press "Enter".
"Windows Firewall Settings" window will be opened. Click on "Exceptions" tab -->
Check the check-box (Select the option) "World Wide Web Services(HTTP)".
3) If the problem still exists try disabling your firewall and antivirus temporary
then try to access the those sites.
Good Luck.

Hello,
Try this 1
1)Go to "Control Panel" --> System and Security --> Click "Allow Programs and Features" under "Windows Firewall" and then Click "Change Settings" --> Check the check-box (Select the option) "World Wide Web Services(HTTP)".
If the problem still exists then
2) Click on Start --> In search box, type cmd and press Enter. Command prompt will be opened.
Type this command.
ipconfig /flushdns ---> press Enter.
Also try to ping those sites from the command prompt. Example, the command to ping google is
ping www.google.com
Make sure that you should get reply messages.
If the problem still exists, then check your router. Try restarting your router.
Good Luck.

well tis just no firefox, or ie, or chrome, ive even tried downloading opera and still doesn;t work, I am also the administrator of my computer. and proxies seem to work o.o I was able to access both sites using one.
Didn't find the answer you are looking for?
Ask a question
and its not possible to activate parental controls on an administrator account, I jsut tried and it wouldn't let me.

Hi
Have you checked to see if those sites might be on your restricted site list?

That is really strange. I can access them in 2 seconds flat!
I suggest three things if the first one fails go to the next step:
1. Clean you cache, all temps files and cookies.
2. Check you antivirus for blocked sites.
3. Make a search for thoramine and bakabt in your registry and delete the value if found,

cleared my chache and everything, checked my av, nothing, and searched my registry nothin either :\ hmm im thinking it might b a virus that my av doesnt detect or something along them lines, so I might have to do a full reformat >.< ive also ran my AV and anti malware/.spyware scans just in case and nothin.

Your majesty the Wolf
Please do not reformat if you think it's virus, use Malwarebyte
Download, install and run Malwarebyte which you can find on this site:
https://ccm.net/downloads/security-and-maintenance/4621-malwarebytes-anti-malware/ es-anti-malware
Ensure you make an update.
Please request a FULL system scan, which may take from 20 minutes to hours. Do not interfere no matter how long in takes. The creators of Malwarebyte recommend that while the tool is running that you go do something else, such as watching a rerun of Gone with the Wind or read Tolstoy's War and Peace.
If Malwarebyte restarts your system, launch it again to finish the Full scan.
When the scan is completed, delete all items found.
Once your computer is clean and working normally just to be on the safe side
*Turn off system restore and wait 30 seconds,
*Turn it back on and create a new restore point.
This way it gets rid of anything bad that might have gotten saved in a restore point and you have a clean restore point to use in the near future if needed.
Do not turn it off until your computer is clean and working normally because you might need to use it if something goes wrong during the clean-up process.
It is better to go back to an infected restore point if something goes wrong then to not be able to undo changes that were damaging.
