Web pages not loading
Hi
Some websites will not load on either Chrome, Firefox, Edge or Vivaldi.
I have cleared the history and cache
Tried both OpenDNS & Google DNS
Full scan with Bitdefender AV, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware & Spybot Search & Destroy: nothing found
Turned firewall off
Uninstalled and re-installed each browser.
Have removed extensions/plugins but the problem persists.
I have found that if I paste the website link into the address bar the page
partially loads but 'circle' continues to rotate for several minutes.
If I right click on the link from another page and select 'Open link in new tab' I get:
This site can't be reached. The connection was reset (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET)
On occasional instances with some websites when I right-click to open a link in a new tab it'll sit
there for a few minutes and then redirect to http://www.traffic.outbrain.com but this never loads
then it goes to: 'This site can't be reached. The connection was reset (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET)'.
Last week I had another problem whereby if I clicked on a link or a folder I'd get the message:
'This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Please install
a program or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Programs control panel'.
At that (on TenForums advice) I re-installed Windows 10 but kept my Data and installed programs.
This solved the association problems but now I have this new one.
Any ideas?
