    Chrome and Firefox not connecting to some sites?


    Hi, so the other day chrome stopped loading i.e. avforums.com with the message
    This site can’t be reached
    so I tried Firefox and got
    Secure Connection Failed
    now these browsers are becoming selective over which websites they'll connect to.
    I ended up using Explorer and got avforums.com to load as with some of the other sites the other two won't connect to any more.
    Any ideas for a fix?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi current,

    Does this still happen if you clear the TIF [Temporary Internet Files] and the cache?

    I hope this helps!

    Hi, thanks for reply, I've tried clearing chrome cache to no effect and I can't locate TIF, I followed online way but the appdata file isn't there, It's goes users, name but then no appdata file?
