I can't connect to certain websites..

[Austintheman]

Basically, when i go to certain forums, I get this error:

This may be because your firewall or antivirus software wrongly thinks Google Chrome is an intruder on your computer and is blocking it from connecting to the Internet.
Here are some suggestions:
Try adding Google Chrome as a permitted program in your firewall or antivirus software's settings. If it is already a permitted program, try deleting it from the list of permitted programs and adding it again.
Error 138 (net::ERR_NETWORK_ACCESS_DENIED): Unable to access the network.

I have no idea how to permit it as a permitted program.
I have NOD32 and comoddo firewall if that matters.
Any help?

NOD32 blocks everything these days. Have a look at your Antivirus software, some of them block sites because of a firewall or the website is rated as unsafe. It's most likley for you it's some kind of firewall. Have a look at your Internet settings on your Antivirus programs and see if they're set to high.

I'll be honest, it's better to have only one Antivirus running really, if you have more running it can slow down your PC and cause conflicts. Look at your settings on your Antiviruses, there should be something in there to do with the Internet, have a look and see what the safety settings are.

Huh? I only have one, comoddo is a firewall.
I have no idea how to open the internet settings on NOD32. :huh:

Might be worth noting that your problem could also be with your 'hosts' file. If there are blocked numbers in there, delete them and it may allow you to connect.
