Windows 10: No Browser can find WWW.Google.Com for Google Search

I try 5 different browsers and all get this message "Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.". Computer is Toshiba Laptop running Insiders Build 15014 and this has been happening since Build 15002. Same browsers on different machine do Google search just fine.

I've run Full scans with Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, Malwarebytes Root Kit and Bit Defender all of which found nothing. Windows Firewall doesn't specifically list Google.com but it is not listed on the other computers either and Defender won't allow the type-in addition of anything. Interestingly, Google Chrome is one of the 5 browsers I've tried and it gets same message as above.

Online research indicates the probability of some virus or malware preventing the use of Google Search. I can still use Google Earth for example.

Does anyone have any idea of how to get Google Search working again on this machine?

:)

 

Help on Nokia 2610

Yes as the 2610 has a WAP broswer. Try your local operator's homepage or you can also try going to the google mobile site on the browser by just typing in
Google and searching for ring tones.

You will find a few that offer downloads

 

n95 battery life since update

OK, I'll Google it for you.

1. I type www.google.com in my browser

2. I type "Nokia Energy Profiler" to the search field

3. I click on "Search"

And there you go!

 

cbwilsha,

Try pressing Start and R keys at the same time.
Type in: cmd
Press: Enter

At the prompt type in: ipconfig /flushdns


If for some reason there is a bad DNS file, this command clears it and forces the computer to acquire a new one. Try going to the Google website.
(Domain Name System (DNS) is the Internet's system for converting alphabetic names into numeric IP addresses.)

Also, instead of wireless, connect to the router with a wire. See if it works with Google.

 

You tried with Chrome and get message "Firefox cant establish.."?

Check your hosts file for any redirection.

 

Thank you very much for your response, cottonball. Tried all your suggestions (several times each) and problem remains. I did at times get this response instead of the can not connect message:

function httpGetAsync(theUrl, callback) { var xmlHttp = new XMLHttpRequest(); xmlHttp.onreadystatechange = function() { if (xmlHttp.readyState == 4 && xmlHttp.status == 200) callback(xmlHttp.responseText); } xmlHttp.open("GET", theUrl, true); // true for asynchronous xmlHttp.send(null); } document.onclick = function() { window.open("http://www1.xmediaserve.com/apu.php?n=&zoneid=17529&cb=INSERT_RANDOM_NUMBER_HERE&direct=1") document.onclick = null; httpGetAsync("http://sstatic1.histats.com/0.gif?3685753&101", null); }

And once or twice got this response:

script.async = true;
document.body.appendChild(script);
var blockedTimeOut = setTimeout(function () {
var s = document.createElement('script');
s.src = '//www.google.com/ad.php&blocked=true&domain_id=52';
document.body.appendChild(s);
}, 4e3);
script.onload = function () {
clearTimeout(blockedTimeOut);

No Andre, when using Chrome it said "WWW.Google.Com refused to connect".

The message I posted was intended as an example of all browsers.

Boot disc? I would try

 

Malware it has become relentless

 

Check this removal guide

 

I don't get redirected anywhere, Andre, it just doesn't connect. I might try your reference anyway and see what happens.

greenguru, I don't see booting being a problem. And, I've had this problem through 3 builds starting about 15002.

Have you addressed this issue in the Insiders Forum (Win10 News) or reported it to MSN ?

 

On what O/S or build please?

 

"Have you addressed this issue in the Insiders Forum (Win10 News) or reported it to MSN ?"

No, as I don't think there is a connection. It just happened around about the time of 15002. I have no reason to believe the OS caused it.
