Suddenly, Internet Explorer will only load websites that have icons on my Google home page. I can do a search, but when I click on any website in the search, I get the error messages below.

 

Under Settings, it says I am connected to the Internet. I'm working off my Chromebook, which has connected to the same network fine without any interruptions. My smartphone and tablets do also.

 

I have Windows 10.

 

On Chrome, no matter what site I attempt to search, I get: "This site can't be reached." Running the diagnostic comes up with no solution.

On IE,  get "Hmmm ... can't reach this page" for everything.

On Firefox, I get a similar message.

Hello Sir, may be you internet IP has banned those pages which you are trying to access. Same thing is with the internet explorer as it doesn't opens the pages. So please change the internet explorer settings.

Figured out the problem. I had 2 antivirus programs installed. I uninstalled the more recent one.

It may be due to these factors:

 

1. System time is incorrect

Make sure your system's date, time and time zone settings are configured correctly. Firefox may have issues validating the website's security certificate if the date/time is incorrect

 

2. DNS cache

3.Wireless connection 4. Internet Service Provider problem 5. DNS server problem

Must have been the antivirus installed which must be causing the interruption. Apart from that there might be Ip address which was banned.
