    yes i can access that page it is a sign in page for a hosting puppy thing. it is odd what i can't access on the scratchcards sites i can access the scratchcards you pay for and no the others. e bay i can access everything but my e bay etc.

    any more suggestions?
    thanks again

  • Did you run MalwareBytes?

    Do you want free sites for anti virus software?

    IMPORTANT only have one anti virus installed on your computer.

    What EXACTLY did you remove?

    Try using firefox for now ~
    http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

    Download SPYBOT

    update, IMMUNISE and scan (Immunise will help protect when using browsers ~ install firefox FIRST though)
    :idea:

    Is the stuff you deleted still in recycle bin so you can restore it?
    Maybe try a thread like this http://askbobrankin.com/cannot_access_secure_sites.html
    especially the bit lower down about port 443.

    sounds as if you've got something on your computer which is just there to annoy you. try and use firefox like the other poster said, and then spybot s+d.

    if it still doesnt work, the money saving expert way would be to completely format your computer so its like how you first got it (but back up the stuff you need first)

    if your not to sure about that method, ask at a computer shop (prefibly somewhere local and not pc world etc) how much it will cost to fix, but save your docs etc to a flash drive, its easy to do just copy and paste them over.

    That's the PC World way, NOT the MSE way!
