Which browser are you using? I don't recall ever using any proxy server/setting with IE on any version of Windows I used to date - from win-x to win-7 variously...

If you don't know what the reference to proxy settings means then, like most, you are probably not using a proxy server. If this is the case and you are using IE, go to the desktop version then look here:
Tools > Internet Options > "LAN settings" button. If there is a check mark in Proxy server uncheck it and see if that helps.

Otherwise it could be something weird in your Hosts file or maybe the work of a virus. If you have more than one browser let us know it you get the same problem on the others. Temporarily installing another browser, such as Firefox, will tell us if this a browser issue or something else.

Let us know how you get on and we can take it further if necessary.

Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
