I can only access big websites like google, youtube, facebook; but not other websites b/c it says I haven't granted those websites permission. What do I do?

more options

Whenever I try accessing a website to look up information or whatever, it doesn't let me access it because it says that I haven't access that website permission, and it says "Unable to Connect". At first I thought it was an Internet problem but I was able to access big websites like Facebook, Google, Yelp, Youtube with no problem. But then when I access google and try clicking on one of the tabs, it won't load because that website isn't secure. I'm a college student that needs to do a lot of research and I can't access all the websites that provide me with the information I need to write my essays. What do I do to fix this? I don't know what happened, this became a problem 4 days ago.

There is security software like Avast and Kaspersky and BitDefender and ESET that intercept secure connections and send their own certificate.

Hi jessiaguirre, it is interesting that you can use HTTPS sites like major search engines, FB, and this site, but not ordinary HTTP sites. Not the usual problem we see.

Could you test these URLs to see if the pattern holds (identical server, identical page, the only difference is the http/https):

Standard: http://jeffersonscher.com/res/jstest.php Secure: https://jeffersonscher.com/res/jstest.php
