    I am using Windows 8.1 . Two days ago I started getting this error when I tried to access a couple of sites I regularly go to. I didn't change any settings. But I can still access the site from another device on the same WiFi network. I've tried everything, from clearing browser to off firewall. I used the troubleshoot option on the bottom right of the screen. And I got this.."The device or resource is not set up to accept connections on port "The World Wide Web service (HTTP)"
    I've attached the error message and all the logs. I can't download TDSS and Hitman Pro. Got the Err_connection_refused message.
    Can someone please help me ? thank you very much

    Hi Kestrel13

    Thanks. Any idea what is causing the error ? I've also noticed that my internet cache fills up real fast. Attached is a screenshot that of ccleaner. I've run ccleaner and 2 hours later I run it again. This is what i got . is it normal ?

    Topic for the software forum I'm afraid. Best of luck with it.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.

    7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
