I am trying to access a web page - firstchoice.co.uk, I know theres no problem with it because a few friends have checked it for me.

I just have not been able to get on it for 3 days, I use chrome but have also tried ie and firefox, I use avast, so I turned it off and I still cant get on it ( I need to book my holiday!!).

I get this message
Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Thanks
Karen

  • In Chrome:

    1) Click the Wrench menu in the upper right corner
    2) Select 'Clear browsing data'
    3) Ensure that check boxes for 'Clear browsing history' and 'Empty the cache' are selected
    4) Click 'Clear browsing data'

    Try your website.

    If that doesn't work, close Chrome.

    Open a command window (Windows Start - put CMD in the search box and hit enter)

    You should get a black box with a c:\...\ prompt in it

    Enter IPCONFIG /FLUSHDNS and hit enter

    Close the command window, restart Chrome and try again.

    If that doesn't work, then it's likely that something (firewall, antivirus) is actively blocking you.
    I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.
    But, if the white runs out, I'll drink the red.

    If it's urgent use a proxy.

    This one has SSL (https) already enabled.

    Just type in http://www.firstchoice.co.uk/ to the URL box and GO.

    Download MALWAREBYTES (Make sure you click 'DOWNLOAD LATEST VERSION')
    http://www.filehippo.com/download_ma..._anti_malware/
    Open malwarebytes and go to UPDATE and click 'check for updates'. After its updated go to SCANNER and click PERFORM QUICK SCAN then click SCAN
    Remove everything thats found (needs to be ticked)
    Post the COMPLETE log here AFTER youve deleted everything it finds
    If anything was found then do the exact same but run a FULL scan

    Why don't you phone them up or go into the shop?

    You can normally barter them down a bit aswell.
