Windows cannot connect to the internet using HTTP ...

Let's disable any proxy settings.

 

In IE, Tools, Internet Options, Connections, and click the LAN Settings button.

 

Uncheck ALL the boxes on this screen and click OK, then OK to the Internet Settings screen.

 

Restart IE

 

Worked for me!!!:):):)

 

It came from a malicious adware

 

I know the post is old, but thought I would add what should help anyone in the future out

 

I could virtually kiss you, RAGE...that worked for me as well!

OK folks this thread is now very old, although some folk have recently reported some suggestions in it have worked for them, and that is of course excellent news.

 

However technology has moved on and some of the problems may not now ever surface again hopefully.

 

So I am asking that any one new to the forum can you please start a new thread with whatever your problem may be. That way there is more chance of your thread being seen and acted on by our membership and staff, as older threads do tend to be ignored.

Thanks in anticipation,

Nev.
