DNS Unlocker version 1.4 is an application which is automatically installing itself into my windows without administrative permissions.
What it does it hacks all my browsers and show ads on every page causes redirection to malicious websites and slows down my PC.
Other special thing it changes the Preferred DNS IP address to something else.
I have tired a lot methods to remove it form system but I couldn't succeed yet.
DNS Unlocker installs a service in your computer Named as "DNS Client" which starts automatically.
Solution: Just disable it from you Local services you'll get rid from all this browser attacks.
After investigating, I found out that the damn "DNS Unlocker" had modified my DNS settings! After fixing this I was completely good! I have google chrome, so I am unsure if this fix persist to other browsers.
The path to do this follows:
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Adapter Settings > Right-click your active internet connection (usually Wi-Fi since everyone uses that, unless your using a desktop) and click properties > Now under the Networking tab, scroll down until you find Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) > Highlight that then click on properties > Both options in this windows should be automatic! The first option should be set to "Obtain an IP address automatically" and the second should be set to "Obtain DNS server address automatically!" If your computer belongs to a company or you actually have a custom DNS then this would not apply to you. Once you are finish, click "OK" and close the windows > Now go back into Chrome and reset your settings one more time and boom! It should work just fine.
"Ads by DNSUnlocker" is a browser based virus, I solved this issue on my windows 7 by Removing unwanted DNS entries from internet connection(in Windows 7, right click on the network icon(right-bottom corner on screen)-> Network and Sharing Center -> internet connection(Local Area Network link -> Properties -> IPv4 -> Properties)
select "Obtain DNS server address automatically" and click "Advanced"->DNS -> remove ip addresses if any on the DNS server addresses box.

I'm trying to download a video rom the device portal I shot with the hololens app , but the file doesn't download when I select [save].
The state is similar to the example below but I am connected via wifi and connect to the device portal from the IP address of the hololens.
Is there another way to access Hololens LocalAppData other than the Windows Device Portal?
This is a known issue, and we're working hard to address these and have root caused most of them, with fixes being prepared for a device OS update. Besides, Firefox will work for some people, but it is not a reliable workaround.
You can try to download your video via Webbrowser or via the software Microsoft Hololens.
This is from the known issue. This worked for me on Chrome.
Workaround
This workaround, which applies equally to Wi-Fi and UsbNcm, is to disable the "required" option under "SSL Connection". To do so, navigate to Device Portal, System, and select the Preferences page. In the Device Security section, locate SSL Connection, and uncheck to disable Required.
The user should then go to http://, not https:// (IP address) and features like file upload and download will work.
This problem has a very simple (almost silly) fix, but it took me 2 hours to discover today, and none of my searches gave the answer, so I am posting this along with the answer to help others.
I have a website set up in IIS to run locally, which has worked in the past.
The URL is like: http://localhost/mywebsite
But today when I tried to open the site, it did not work in any of my browsers (IE, Chrome, and Firefox).
Even the main IIS Welcome page at http://localhost was not working.
Internet Explorer showed: "Can't reach this page / Make sure the web
address http://localhost is correct". Under "More information", it
showed "There was a temporary DNS error. Try refreshing the page.
Error Code: INET_E_RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND"
Firefox showed: "Unable to connect / Firefox can't establish a
connection to the server at localhost."
Chrome showed: "This site
can't be reached / localhost refused to connect /
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED"
Neither restarting the server in IIS, nor calling iisreset from a command prompt fixed it.
I compared my "hosts" file to another computer which was not having the problem. Both had the same entry for "127.0.0.1 localhost".
I checked the Services panel and verified that "World Wide Web Publishing Services" was running.
I ran "netstat -a". It showed nothing listening on port 80, but I didn't know what was causing that.
Based on suggestions I found while searching for a solution, I tried the following, none of which fixed the problem:
I turned off User Account Control.
In IIS, I updated the Site Bindings for "Default Web Site" to change the port number from 80 to a different value, 8085. The site did not load with the new port number either.
In case something in IIS had gotten corrupted or messed up, I used "Turn Windows features on or off" to turn off all the features for Internet Information Services.
Then after rebooting, I turned them all on again and rebooted again.
I still had the same problem.
What else could be causing IIS and my local website not to work?
Make sure the website has been started in IIS:
In the left pane of IIS Manager under "Sites", select the appropriate site. If your site is configured under the "Default Web Site", select that one.
In the right pane under "Manage Website", there are "Start" and "Stop" links.
When the website is running, the Start icon (arrow) will be gray and its link will be disabled; the Stop icon (square) will be black and its link will be enabled.
When the website is NOT running, the Start arrow will be green and enabled; the Stop icon will be gray and disabled.
So if the Start link has a Green arrow by it, that means the website is NOT running, and you need to click to start it.
By default, web sites are started automatically when IIS is started or restarted.
But if you click the link to stop the site, it will remain stopped even after you reboot the computer or restart IIS. It won't be restarted until you click Start again.
I had also this situation where a local website hosted by IIS did not work. My site was already started but it seemed to lack the rights for an internet browser to access to the local site.
In my case I got the site working by giving the site's root folder (and its contents in the Windows 10 file system) the following usage rights:
Authenticated Users
This usage right can be set in folder properties and its security tab.
Other usage rights present are:
SYSTEM
My own account
Adminstrators (MACHINENAME\Admistrators)
I post this solution here in case someone is in trouble with the same issue.
An update: This 'Authenticated Users' group needs also permission to modify files and folders in case e.g. Wordpress is used as a local site and the adminstrator wants to e.g. update themes and plugins of the site.
If this permission is not set, Wordpress will fail to write the updates to the local folder. The message shown is: "Installation Failed: Could Not Create Directory".
However, please note that at the moment I cannot guarantee that these settings are completely safe and do not compromise your system for attackers etc. But I've taken the risk myself, and the settings will provide a working environment to develop locally.
some time this problem because the application pools is stopped after restart server machine this is problem happened me.Picture for clarification, enter image description here
I encountered this issue recently, and none of the other answers here helped me. I was unable to connect with http://localhost/mywebsite, but I could with http://127.0.0.1/mywebsite. I was able to put a bandaid on the issue by creating a new binding:
Type: https
IP address: All Unassigned
Port: 443
Host name: empty
[x] Disable Legacy TLS
SSL certificate: IIS Express Development Certificate
I could then connect with https://localhost/mywebsite. Hopefully this helps someone else!
These websites were working before and suddenly after a restart of my AWS Workspaces these websites are returning below error on all browsers. I have re-installed IIS and also deleted the files from C:\inetpub\history. When i run the same website from Visual Studio it works but the url would be like http://localhost:29740.
This site can’t be reachedThe webpage at http://localhost/xxx might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED
Are you using chrome browser? there are many reasons for this error, such as the website or service you are trying to access does not support the SSLv3 protocol (Secure Socket Layer Version 3 Protocol), some third-party program like your antivirus or an extension install on to your browser might be interrupting your connection to the website.
Before trying any fixes, try to access the same website from a different browser and preferably a different connection. Try to access the website from the browser in Incognito mode may help too. But if you still encounter this error, here is what you can do to fix it.
Disable SSLv3 in Google Chrome:
First, add a Chrome shortcut to the desktop, then right-click the Chrome desktop shortcut, select Properties, and click the Shortcut tab as below.
C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe” –ssl-version-min=tls1
Disable Antivirus and Firewall
In the System tray on the right corner of your taskbar, right-click on the icon of your Antivirus and then click on the option that refers to disabling your antivirus protection temporarily.If prompted, set the duration of antivirus to be disabled as per your choice.You may temporarily disable Windows Defender in you use iton Windows 10.
Now, you can check if your issue is resolved or not. Additionally, you can disable your Windows Firewall protection too. This is due to the fact that the Windows Firewall monitors and authorizes or denies and inward or outward connection from your computer.
Now, you can check again if your issue is resolved or not.
Reset Google Chrome
To reset Chrome browser, make sure that Google Chrome is not running anywhere in the background using the Task Manager.Now, hit the WINKEY + R combinations to open Run and then navigate to the following path,
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
Now, select the folder named as Default and hit the Shift + Delete button combinations and then click on Yes for the confirmation prompt you get.
After deleting the Default folder, open Google Chrome and click on the Menu button denoted by three verticle dots in the top right corner.Then, click on Settings. In the Settings section, scroll down and click on Advanced to reveal the Advanced Settings.
Now, scroll down to the Restore Settings to their original defaults button and click on it.Click on Reset, and this will reset your Google Chrome browser.Now check if you issue is fixed or not.
Reinstall Google Chrome
If all the methods that are mentioned above do not work properly, the last and the ultimate fix would be reinstalling Google Chrome.
Like a lot of programmers, I test sites locally.
I use the hosts file to map domain names to my local ip (127.0.0.1).
I use qualified domain names, usually with a "d" subdomain (for "development").
For example:
d.somewebsite.com
d.anotherwebsite.com
and so on...
In Microsoft edge, most of the web sites work. However, a couple of them do not. There is nothing special or weird about the domain names that won't work. Just a simple d.someletters.com.
They work fine in Chrome, IE, and Firefox.
In Edge, I get the error message:
"Hmm, we can't reach this page."
At first I thought it wasn't resolving the IP. However, I realized when I made a typo on another non-related url, that requests which are not routed by the hosts file are sent to my ISP to be resolved. If my ISP can't resolve it, they send back this special search results page with suggestions of what you might be trying to find. Well, when I go to my local domain, I do not get this page from my ISP. I get the error mentioned above straight from edge.
So, it seems to me that Edge is resolving the domain correctly, otherwise it would have been sent off to my ISP's DNS.
So, I would think then that maybe Edge just can't connect to the local machine. But like I said, several of these local domains are working fine. Also, using 127.0.0.1 directly in Edge also works. It's just these couple of domain names giving me a problem. And only in Edge (all other browsers work) Any ideas?
The web server is Apache2 for Windows (xampp) if that matters.
Also, if I open the debug window in Edge and monitor the network, I do not see any requests going out at all.
EDIT: I am no longer using the hosts file. I have dnsmasq running on one of my Linux boxes and I am using it for DNS instead of hosts. Also no longer using loopback (obviously since DNS is on another box now), I am using an internal private ip address (192.168...). Same issue.
Your network can block loopback as a security measure in Windows 10.
Open a command prompt as administrator, and run this to exempt Edge from a loopback:
CheckNetIsolation LoopbackExempt -a -n="Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe"
(Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe is the identifier for the Edge app)
There's a blog post here giving more detail:
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/msgulfcommunity/2015/07/01/how-to-debug-localhost-on-microsoft-edge/
I (thought I) solved it!
Things that did not work:
Making changes to IE compatibility settings or Windows compatibility lists
Using fully qualified domain names
Using an IP address other than loopback
using http vs https
remove all javascript and cross-site scripts/resources from the web page
checking / unchecking the option in about:flags for allowing localhost loopback or using compatibility settings
removing / adding / editing the entries in the TabProcConfig of the Windows Registry
deleting browsing history, cache, cookies
The Solution: in a complete counter-intuitive twist:
Remove the domain names from your trusted sites list!
Open the Internet Options dialog (just ask Cortana or use windowskey+s)
Go to the Security tab
Click on the Trusted Sites zone
Click the Sites button
Remove the troubled domain names from the trusted sites list
Click Apply and then close the dialog
Open Edge (or restart it if it is already running)
Viola
I should note that I, using common-sense, figured that it wasn't just the fact that the site was merely present in the "Trusted Sites" zone that caused the issue. I figured it was some setting on that zone. So, before I deleted the domain names from the "sites" list, I made all of the settings match my Internet Zone settings exactly (Medium high security, enable protected mode, do not require server verification for all sites), and I also tried every other combination I could find. There was no combination of zone security settings that worked. The only solution was to simply remove the domains from the Trusted Sites list completely. Funny thing is that it works in IE regardless, even though this is the internet settings dialog for IE. This only seems to affect Edge.
EDIT:
Two weeks later I change my configuration to, instead of the hosts file, use dnsmasq on a local Linux machine and using it for DNS. I'm not sure if it happened right away but at some point Edge stopped working again! I already had the "allow loopback" checkbox checked in about:flags, so I didn't expect the CheckNetIsolation fix to work. But, it did. Edge version is 20.10240.16384.0. I used the fix from Can't open localhost in Microsoft Edge (Project Spartan) in Windows 10 preview
EDIT #2
A couple of months later and Edge is having this problem again. I tried both previous solutions (and others) and neither of them work for me anymore.
I'm leaving this answer because I am assuming I experienced two separate problems.
Edge doesn't support VPN IP addresses so any workaround needs to employ some sort of proxy. Here are some solutions that I found work:
Install and run fiddler. Fiddler will basically intercept the request from the browser then forward it to the destination. This is the easiest workaround.
Configure a proxy via the built-in Windows tool: netsh. The basic steps involve assigning your development domain to an available local private IP address in the 127.0.0.0/8 range, then mapping this IP to the webserver's IP on the VPN. See step by step instructions here
Use the port forwarding feature of ssh to configure a proxy. Assuming that port 80 is available on localhost, add 127.0.0.1 d.somewebsite.com to your host file, then run the following ssh command: ssh -L localhost:80:localhost:80 user#devwebserver, where devwebserver is the hostname of your development webserver (say in the VM or vagrant instance, or across the VPN). This option assumes you have ssh access to the dev server.
Your "remove from trusted sites" solution didn't work for me because my local sites were not on my trusted sites.
But you got me looking the Internet Options and I managed to get IIS working for local sites for me on Windows 10. This is what I did:
Open Internet Options and select "Local intranet"
Click on "Sites"
Click on "Automatically detect intranet network"
Click OK. Try your local machine site in Microsoft Edge and it should now work.
May not apply to your situation, but nonetheless. My setup was as follows. A public space address (internet) page was attempting to load a page with a private space address (intranet) in an iframe and Edge would refuse to load the intranet page with the same "Hmm, we can't reach this page" message, and with "SEC7117 Error" in the debug console. Turns out Edge doesn't like mixing internet/intranet zones (see Understanding Enhanced Protected Mode blog post for reasons why). Edge runs tabs in separate AppContainers, and AppContainer network restrictions are sensitive to your network configuration.
My solution was to take the server which hosted the intranet page in question out of the domain network by assigning a second private space IP to it, and create a second DNS entry to that IP. The server ends up having 2 IPs: one on the domain network and an alternative one and 2 different DNS entries. Edge is then pointed to the alternative URL and it starts loading the intranet page just fine. It seems like as long as the IP masks of the PC and the page URL in question do not match, Edge will load the page.
The blog post I mentioned has info on Loopback-blocked for localhost and lack of privateNetworkClientServer capability in IE. As far as I can tell all that info applies to Edge.
When this happens to me I can find a domain entry in the registry key below that matches the domain. When I remove it things work, for a while... I don't know why but Edge will add it back eventually.
Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-964789662-521690395-1734141374-1111\Software\Classes\Local Settings\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\AppContainer\Storage\microsoft.microsoftedge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge\TabProcConfig
Noting from your edit that you are now accessing the site on 192.168.0.0/16 address, rather than on 127.0.0.1, I am guessing you are running into an issue with the way the Edge browser behaves differently depending on the interface used to access the site. Other browsers I tried don't behave this way.
In my environment, I had a Virtualbox host-only network setup and this had an NdisDeviceType of 1. Edge would only allow me to navigate to sites over this interface after I changed NdisDeviceType to 0. The registry key you need is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}\XXXX
Instead of XXXX, you need the correct key for your interface, which I determined from "route print" and subtracted 1. For me it was "0016".
The value to change is called *NdisDeviceType. (That's a literal asterisk.) I changed it from 0 to 1 and had to reboot for Windows to notice the change.
My answer was gleaned from a post by "Jani L" dated Oct 3, 2017. I also posted this solution in more detail to another stackoverflow question. Also see a Virtualbox ticket 15565.
None of the other solutions worked for me. It turns out that my issue relates to VPN. Microsoft Edge still doesn't support VPN IP addresses, while Internet Explorer 11 does. Impressive that this is still an issue as of May 2016.
Additional Details:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b3a687ae-345d-4c3f-9070-184b33fb1fc6/microsoft-edge-cant-access-vpn-ip-address-but-ie-11-can?forum=win10itprogeneral
Currently Microsoft Edge seems to be not working well with VPN. And the mechanism to connect to Internet from Microsoft Edge is a little different from Internet Explorer 11 and the other desktop browsers, which I can't explain clearly as I don't know much about it.
So based on the current situation, please take use of Internet Explorer 11 instead.
In my case changing the network type from private to public did the trick. This is also reproducible and changing the network type reliable changes the state from "working" to getting: Http failure response for (unknown url): 0 Unknown Error
For me, I went to Internet Options (control panel), then Security, then selected local intranet and then put a tick in the "Automatically detect intranet network". This greyed out the nested options below, and Edge immediately started using my hosts file.
I have installed xampp 1.7.3. After starting apache and mysql service when I write http://localhost/ in the internet explorer address bar it shows 'The page cannot be displayed'. But for Firefox it creates no problem and shows Xampp index.php page.
Now how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advance
Ensure you've flushed you cache -
Also try the ip address 127.0.0.1
Sounds daft but ensure IE6 can actually see the web, as it may be a case of changing your connection settings -
I remember correctly you had the ability to edit the localhost connections in the setting - Unfortuntely I havent used a real IE for a while so I'm not sure. I believe there is a check box in the settings "bypass for local connections" for your proxy or settings.
Also ensure you have "auto detect" for your connection settings.
