    I use waterfox a copy of firefox but I get trillion of connections that lock me out of my system regardless where I go on the internet, If their is such a software or hardware that can redirect them to another site like a porn site?

    If there was, it would probably be illegal. Certainly, not ethical on your part.

    The greater issue here is, why are you getting all those connections? How are they locking you out of your system? It seems the problem is on your end or else other Waterfox users would be complaining of the same thing.

    Tell us more about your system. What OS? Is it fully updated? Have you scanned for malware? With what?

    Well I use windows 8.1 and I have 20 gigbite hard drive that is almost full, I believe it's hidden cache files from a 3rd party I need to get rid of,

    Then run Windows Disk Cleanup on it. What you are saying now has nothing to do with "trillions of connections that lock you out".

    That said, a 20GB hard drive is tiny to begin with.

    Dude, if you can afford an internet connection, then its only a couple hundred bucks for even a basic laptop running windows 10 home, 500gb drive, core i5, 4g ram???
    Why are you bothering?

    Is it a mobile device you are referring too?

    Is this a tablet? (like an HP stream?) That's the only newer device that would have such a minute hard drive other than a smart phone? usually the sizes are something like 16GB or 32GB.

    You should have your tablet tested for malware.

    Then when you have the tools and the logs, start a new thread so someone can see what malware is on your device.

    I can always hot wire it and put lunix mint on it and remove windows 8.1 that will free up 19 gigbites leaving 1 gigabite for Lunix mint
