"The requested URL was rejected" with only one site, everywhere else is ok

[Juliet]

I've heard of only one website being blocked but I didn't find a good fix/cure for it either, and it doesn't happen often from what I've read.

Let's try resetting browsers.

Instructions on how to backup your Favourites/Bookmarks and other data can be found below.

• Backup Internet Explorer Favourites
• Backup Firefox Bookmarks
• Backup Chrome Bookmarks
• Backup Opera Bookmarks (scroll down)
  

Proceed with the reset once done.

• Internet Explorer: How to reset Internet Explorer settings
• Firefox:Reset Firefox
• Chrome: Chrome - Reset browser settings
• Opera: How to perform a clean reinstall of Opera

===============


If you would, open Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and run a fresh scan, I'd like to see if host files have changed and if the Proxy settings are still there.

Open Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

• Right-Click FRST.exe / FRST64.exe and select Run as administrator to run the programme.
• Click Yes to the disclaimer.
• Ensure the Addition.txt box is checked.
• Click the Scan button and let the programme run.
• Upon completion, click OK, then OK on the Addition.txt pop up screen.
• Two logs (FRST.txt & Addition.txt) will now be open on your Desktop. Copy the contents of both logs and paste in your next reply.

Update;
This backup HDD, now, at least twice the login page does not appear as opposed to the main HDD where the reverse is true. The laptop is still good, no failures. These testes were done opening I closing the browser thou most times I didn't bother loggin since that isn't the problem as long as the page doesn't get re-directed.

I don't use Idiot Exploiter, nor Chrome-dome (Google spies enough on me as it is). Just FireFox as my backup. I'll do a fresh install of Opera, but I do have a 'portable' version I will try first.
I cleared the 'hosts' file that was full of addresses Spybot added.

Wow, you sure come up with interesting programs.

Are both HDD set up exactly security app wise?

If it's not malware, it has to be settings or security.


When finished, let me know how you made with with the Eset scanner.

And the new FRST logs.

Specifically what/where security settings. Within the browser or the O/S? Nothing has changed with either, especially with the backup drive.

That Emsisoft is coming up with too many false positives.

[Juliet]

Specifically what/where security settings. Within the browser

Yes, Opera browser is thats the main browser you use. Checking the net some were able to go into the web sites after following the below.

Some say it's related to firewall rules but I find that unlikely.

Delete cookies
Opera 10.50, 11, and Newer

Click on the Opera button in the top left corner > Settings > Delete Private Data... NOTE: You can also access this menu by holding Ctrl + Shift + Delete.
Click on Detailed Options to show the rest of the options. Make sure only the following are checked: Delete temporary cookies.

Opera (Win) - Clearing Cache and Cookies
https://kb.wisc.edu/helpdesk/page.php?id=12381

To ensure that cookie information is kept in the browser, select Settings > Preferences > Advanced > Cookies and check "Delete new cookies when exiting Opera" and close Opera when you have finished browsing


***

If you think the scanner is finding false positives, don't allow it to delete or quarantine anything, just save the log and I'll look at it.

[videobruce]

Those security setting are mostly default. Anyway no changes.
I delete cookies & cache on exit, SOP with me in all browsers. There are a few sites that I leave cookies for easier re-login purposes.

Would a wired vs wireless network connection make any difference? The tower is wired, the laptop is wireless.

Question:
What is rejecting the specific bank address? The bank site itself, or something/somewhere else? Is there some way to trace that down, I'm not good with Internet paths etc.
