Problem loading web sites, but only if they are not in the tabs or navigation bar
First, sorry for my English :(
I have trouble since 2-3 weeks now when I want to open a new page. I can use my tabs (Gmail, Facebook, etc) or use the addresses that I have in my navigation history. But I'm not able to do much else.
If I type an address, it won't load. If I use the Google Ad-On to look for something, not loading. But if I am on Facebook and click on a link, it works. I can also use that link (per example Youtube) to look something else.
I hope it's clear :) Not easy to explain a computer problem, worst when it's not in your first language :P

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer.
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
