All of a sudden I can't connect to certain websites. The BBC website, every single branch of it, iPlayer, News, Sport, can't connect to any of them.

Also there is cyrket.com which I use quite a lot and then every now and then it just won't connect to random websites on google search.

Tried resetting the router. Nothing. Everyone in the house can access the websites except me, any ideas?

What is the specific error message?

Some websites may be blocked by any security suites you have installed, the brower itself or even specific keywords the page contains by the router.

Try checking your HOSTS file - malware can do this.

I've tried various virus scans on the HOSTS files, but nothing.

What could it be?
