Q&A: Why are some websites failing to load in Chrome?

Posted on February 15, 2021

Question from Kenny: About six months ago I bought a Toshiba laptop with Windows 10 on it.

Everything worked great until three days ago when Chrome started failing to load certain websites.

Some sites load normally, but then other sites get redirected to completely different sites when I click on their links.

Still other sites won’t load at all. The only thing I get is a white error screen.

I tried clearing the browser history and when that failed to fix it I even removed Chrome and reinstalled it. But the problem is still there.

Can you tell me what’s wrong and how to fix it?

Q&A: Why can’t Internet Explorer load websites after viruses were removed?

Posted on July 29, 2014

Question from Annika T.: During the last virus scan Norton found a couple of viruses and removed them. Now Internet Explorer won’t load any websites. All I get is a blank screen and a message saying the site might be down or something.

I know it’s not my Internet connection because Firefox still loads pages just fine. I really need to get IE back working again because I use it and Firefox together to use two Gmail accounts at the same time. Can you help me?

If it matters, my computer is running Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 11.
