I can't seem to load google.com

My computer says something is interfering with my secure connection to google.com. What can i do about it? Why is this happening?

And, what is a good free legal anitvirus program i can use?

Reboot?

MSE.

@MonsieurX: I just installed an antivirus, and rebooted about 5 minutes ago. I still can't load google.com. Is this possibly someone hacking me? I don't know much about this stuff.

Is it just Google?

How are you loading google? putting the address in?

Is it just Internet Explorer or can you test with other browsers?

Also try resetting your Internet Options (control panel) and delete all the cache. (you can research on the net where to go and how to do it)

This is what i did on internet explorer:

tools>internet options>general>delete>(then delete the following: temporary internet files,

cookies, history, form data, passwords

it still didn't fix it. I'm worried of possibly being hacked. My PC is very old, from around 2006, so maybe that could make me more open to attacks.

download an Antivirus and run a scan if you have not all ready.

AVG, Avaast or Microsoft Security Essentials are all good free anti virus,

oh have installed an Anti Virus I missed that post.

Have you ran a virus Scan did it come up with anything ?

Also how long ago did Google Stop working, you could check when your PC last created a restore point and restore PC back to then, assuming the date is before you had trouble

@thehig1: My computer runs on Windows XP, and the microsoft.com website says they don't have MSE for Windows XP anymore. That might be important info. And, i am installing avast right now.

alright Avaast is pretty good, run a scan with it and let it deal with any virus or threat it finds, restart PC and see what happens.

Last resort would be to re-format, if you id suggest upgrading to Windows 7 or 8, you can get them both legsal and very cheap if you are able and willing to burn your own image.

window 8

I think i ran avaast, the computer restarted untli there was a sky blue screen. When it restarted, the problem was still there, i can't run google or gmail.com

I am thinking about putting all my important files onto my flash drive and then reformatting. My brother pretty much found out it was not because of the connection, but my computer itself.

My computer is very old, around 8 years old. Pentium D processor, old graphics card. I wonder if it can run Windows 7 or 8. Do u have other advice i could use?
