I've been searching for the solution but most of the solution is to run a spyware which I don't like it because it will just slow down my machine and I think in my opinion, I'm just adding new risk for letting a software sniff my transaction.
The solution is pretty simple:
Replace your Windows "hosts" file or reset it.
Anyway, just follow the steps below:
Step 1: Open a command prompt. (If you're using Windows 7, make sure you "Run As Administrator")
Step 2: Backup Hosts File. "copy %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts c:\hosts
Step 4: Open the hosts file "notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts"
Step 4: Delete all text below ::: localhost
Step 5: You now save the file and exit.
Lesson learned:
Don't install any software that you're not familiar with or not needed. Also, before clicking anything from the browser please Read Before Click.
