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.

This works for me. I'm scared about this "Recommended For You" pop-up like the small screen appear with an iPhone style or a small rectangle, so I didn't use my windows laptop to pay any online bills. I found this pop-up is annoying because when you visit a web site which is not HTTPS website, the pop-up will appear. Anyway, this really helps. Also, I don't want to get a SpyWare because you allowed them to be persisted in your laptop. Thank you again for sharing this.
