We tried a number of things that included removing unfamiliar programs as well as removing the above FIDDLER certificate. She had to acknowledge the message to continue to the website. When she browsed the internet through Internet Explorer, she got the a webpage saying "There is a problem with this website's security certificate". Opening the certificate in detail, it documented the certificate path as leading to a root certificate oddly called DO_NOT_TRUST_FiddlerRoot. In her case, Outlook would connect fine for a few minutes after opening and then give her a certificate error message that there was a problem with the "proxy server's security certificate". Though not precisely the same, it's similar enough for you to try and use the techniques we used for yourself. Your issue Anto sounds similar to what one of my users had about a month or two ago.

But it said there was no need for repairing as the DNS settings were not altered by DNS Changing malware. I have tried resetting winsock and ip using the following cmd commands with no respite. But if I close and restart chrome or if I leave chrome idle for some time, the issue reappears again. I tried it and the issue was resolved TEMPORARILY. However, after spending hours on google, I found out the issue can be resolved running the ipconfig /flushdns command in cmd. I was quite surprised because last time, I resolved the issue by using the malware removal tools (which detected objects and deleted them). Surprisingly all malware removal tools and McAfee failed to detect even a single object! I ran scans using the following tools in both safe mode and normal mode(using latest signatures) I am pretty sure that malwares are the cause as I've had similar infections before. Since then, whenever I open chrome, I get a standard 'Web Page Not Available" error for ALL the sites I try to visit.įirefox and Internet Explorer too wouldn't open ANY page.
