Title: Browser Problems
Post by: trespasstochattels on November 05, 2012, 02:40 am
I recently started using the Tor browser  and also recently installed avast internet security.  Shortly afterward my Google Chrome and Internet Explorer browsers stopped working, although my Tor browser works fine. Google Chrome says "No data received:  Server closed the connection without sending any data."  I tried to re-install Chrome and Explorer but that hasn't worked.  Was wondering if anyone else has had same problem before or had any ideas on what's wrong?  Thanks.

Check your proxy settings. Not sure where they are in windows. But it sounds like IE and Chrome are trying to connect to something that isn't giving them data. The actual web servers would give them data, so the only other thing a browser would listen to is a proxy server. Maybe?
