These websites never load and always show an error message when they open.

I do not try to open these websites and I close them immediately. It is beginning to get really annoying and I would like to remove this problem.

It does not happen on any one site, but on every single site I try to navigate through whenever a new page loads.

You may be infected with malware.
Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

If using the above listed scanners does not fix it or if you are blocked from installing those scanners then ask advice on one of the forums that specialize in malware removal mentioned in the Popups_not_blocked article.
