I use Win 7 and IE9. In the past two weeks, all of a sudden I can't log in to one financial site, and on another financial site, I can log in, but have difficulty getting to my account. I've spoken to the sites' tech people and all is ok on their end. I've run virus scans, both in safe and regular mode and nothing is found.
View 3 Repliesi have changed to windows 7 last week and yesterday noticed that i cant seem to access any secure sites, eg barclays log in page and tesco/asda payment page, (https pages). get the same problem on chrome, firefox and ie. My wife says she has used the computer to access bank account but i cant think of anything that may have changed since then.just noticed i can access gmail which is a secure site.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAll three of my browsers (Firefox, Comodo & IE) show up as blank pages. I can access all other sites, except when the URL has an Https on it. Using netstat i saw that port #443 was not in a listening state, yet none of my firewalls, (comodo antivirus, Windows firewall or peerblock) seem to be blocking the port.I am fairly new at this and i cannot restore to a later date as i do not know when this actually started up, and i cannot restore as i have data on this PC that i need, and am unable to backup into any other form.
View 5 Replies View RelatedStarting yesterday, most of my sites that require a password (e.g. bank, mutual fund, credit card) would not accept the passwords. A couple would not allow me to change to a new password, even after I was sent temporary passwords to use to do that. I had to call the sites to have them try, and it took several tries by Support to change the password. Windows 7; Malwarebytes (paid version)and Avira Premium scan daily.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have an Acer Aspire 5542 Laptop running Windows 7 and have had no problems until recently. I went to check my Hotmail and found I could not get to Hotmail.com then my msn messenger signed out and would not sign back in.
I then noticed that I could not get to any Microsoft site but all other sites work fine. I am a computer tech and run a small home network the laptop being the only machine running windows 7 all other run XP or Linux all other machines can access all Microsoft sites so I am pretty sure the problem lies with the laptop, however after running every scan I can think of and coming up empty I wiped the mbr and recreated the hard drive partition and reinstalled windows with the factory restore disks.
my problem is that when i try to log into facebook,paypal,gmail,Internet,twitter,minecraft,..the works it continues loding then it says the connection has timed out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have an HP, p6710f, AMD Athlon II X4 640 processor with Windows 7 Home Premium on my desktop, as well as on my HP laptop. I am a medical transcriptionist, so I access a secure website to work. Suddenly my desktop will not access the site, but my laptop will. Tech support from my company did a remote access on my computer and could not figure anything out. I took it to a computer shop, they removed a virus (which they said was nothing major), and were able to access the website. I got my computer back but it still will not access the website. I made sure my modem/router firmware is up to date, but the laptop uses that as well. The interesting thing is my computer will not ping the website I work on, nor will the laptop, but yet the laptop connects and works but the desktop will not. Any ideas why this would happen or what could have changed on my desktop? Oh I will say that I restored my desktop, as did tech support, to a week earlier when it was working fine

Does anyone have a clue as to why this happened and what I need to do to repair this issue. I can't log into banking, email, Facebook, or anything that is secure but I am able to access ALL other websites.

View 6 Replies View RelatedThought about time I asked the experts on this problem I've had for some time.I can be quite happily surfing the net and then if I try to go to a different site I get the message"Looking up www.xyz" where XYZ is the site I want to go to.I have had this problem for months well longer really. The problem is solved with a reset of the router, Now it happens across different routers so I discounted them.I though then it was my internet connection so carried on with a reset of the router.I have recently purchased an internet radio and the odd thing is it carrys on playing music proving my broadband connection is still there.The same happens with IE or Firefox.I am at a loss where to point the finger of blame.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm probably using the worst browser, Internet Explorer. I used to use Firefox, but I was concerned with privacy issues once they teamed up with Google so I went back to Explorer. Two weeks ago I updated to version 9 of Internet Explorer and I'm constantly getting connection issues which I've never had before.What are the better browsers when it comes to both privacy and security?
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen browsing a website that I have pinned to my taskbar (Facebook for example) I've noticed that the pages take longer than usual to load. When it does load, the page becomes very choppy when I'm scrolling up/down and is generally slow to respond. It's the same for any website I have pinned to my taskbar.
The strange thing is, If I open up IE9 (non-pinned) and browse using the address bar everything is smooth and fast. I've cleared my temp internet files and reset IE to default settings with no luck. I've also tried un-pining then re-pinning website but it's still the same. Is there a way I can clear the cache for individual pinned sites?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI want to reinstall windows from an image.I want to do this because I re-installed windows on a new samsung 830 256gb ssd but I didn't use secure erase before doing so.After the install my random write speed went down to 330ish MBs when i was at 400 MBs before. My current win 7 install is optimized and works fine; only my random write speeds have decreased and it's bugging me lol. Do you think a secure erase and reinstall would improve my write speed?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI havehad Windows XP for many years (I am not a techy). I cannot afford a new computer right now and my current Dell Computer(10 years old) had reached it's max storage and would not even boot up except in safe mode. My brother was helping me remotely to try and fix it and he ended up wiping everything I had not been able to back up. He also installed W7 without asking me (he meant well). The main problems I am having are visual. All my games...both on and off line..are blurry and distorted. I am no longer able to play solitaire or MSN Texas Holdem because the visual distortion is so annoying it hurts my eyes and ruins the game for me. I tried to revert back to XP but the visual changes are apparently permanent. As I cannot purchase a new computer at this time, I need some help to see if I can adjust my visual settings. Also, while I have been able to find a font that works reasonably well with W7, somesites are still difficult to read as the font seems faded out.
View 1 Replies View RelatedHow do you configure windows so it does not constantly delete your passwords which you enter. It gets rather madning when you log into a site you use constantly and even though the "save" button is clicked you end up putting in the information the next time you boot up the computer. Also is there any way to turn off the security pop up box which always is asking do you want to view information from such and such site on sites you have logged into and use constantly.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've had IE9 on this Win7 (64-Bit) computer for a few months now and today when I opened IE9 and tried to go to a few sites, it would remain on the "Downloading" or "Waiting.." in the lower left. After about 5 minutes of so, the page would load. Clicking on the "Back" or "X" wouldn't work. I had to Del/Ctrl/Alt to get out of these pages that were not loading (quickly).
I uninstalled IE9 and IE8 seems to be behaving the same way - very slow loading of sites, AOL, etc. I ran full MSE scan and nothing shows. I installed IE9 again and still same "slowness" getting into all sites! Did the "disable add-ons" thing and that didn't work, either. FF runs fine, so I presume it is something in IE9 (and IE8) that is causing this "slowness, slugishness, etc." for pages ot load/show." I tried IE9 64-bit and same problem! If I wait and wait (maybe several minutes) the page will finally show.
will Windows 7 be the most secure operating system ever? Microsoft seem to think so. Microsoft's Chief Operating Officer Kevin Turner made the following bold statement yesterday: Vista today, post-Service Pack 2, which is now in the marketplace, is the safest, most reliable OS we've ever built. It's also the most secure OS on the planet, including Linux and open source and Apple Leopard.
It's the safest and most secure OS on the planet today. Everything that we've learned in Vista will be leveraged in Windows 7, but certainly when we broke a lot of the compatibility issues to lock down user account controls, to lock do wn the ability to manipulate states and all the things, that was a very painful process for us to grow through, but we had to do it.
And the reason that Windows 7 will be successful is because of the pain we took on Vista. Because from a compatibility standpoint, if it works on Vista, it will work on Windows 7. If it doesn't work on Vista, it won't work on Windows 7.
I'm glad he stopped short of saying that Windows 7 will be the most secure operating system in the universe!
