The browser does not open the page. Causes and Treatment

The browser helps us surf the Internet, browse the pages and find the information you need. Through it, any search query is performed, any operation that is performed on the network. Unfortunately, even the most modern of such programs is not insured against failures in work. Often, after inaccurate user actions, the normal operation of the browser is disrupted. For example, if you set the wrong settings, it can happen that the browser does not open the page or does it so slowly that there is not enough patience. Also it should be said that a malfunction in the work can occur not only through the fault of the person who works at the computer. The reasons are really great. Below, only a few of them are considered. The ones that are most common.

Viruses, malware

So, why does not the browser open the page? The first thing that comes to mind: the computer picked up some virus on the Internet. It is known that many of the malicious programs are aimed just at the work of browsers and the Internet connection as a whole. A linked virus can be a Trojan program that gets to the computer as an allegedly useful file. Then the user will not even notice at which point the problems started. Rootkits and various "worms" should also be included here.

Solution: check the computer for viruses. Here you can use a full scan of the antivirus that you have installed, or special tools to find Trojan programs (AVZ and others). If there is any doubt about the effectiveness of the installed anti-virus software, it is better to replace it. The viruses are deleted and the computer is rebooted.

Other software

Another reason, because of which in the end no browser opens the page, can be associated with the installation of additional background programs. Especially those whose work is based on the transfer and receipt of information from the Internet. Of course, among these utilities there are necessary and useful. For example, the download wizard or various torrents. It is important to be able to distinguish really needed software from useless and potentially dangerous. Among the latter is the program SkyMonk and third-party utilities for updating the operating system like Bonjour. By the way, the native OS Update Center also hinders the normal operation of the browser.

The solution: to disable the automatic updating of Windows, in any case, do not use third-party programs that are aggressively offered for downloading, especially if you do not know why you need them at all. SkyMonk is best removed immediately.

Overcrowded memory, unnecessary records

In all browsers, there is a special type of memory, which stores the most popular search queries. Access to it requires less time, so the overall speed of loading pages increases. Such memory on computer slang is called "cookies" or cache. When it is full, there are problems, one of which may be that the browser does not open the page. The cause of the problem is often the system drive that is full. Usually they have a special restriction, which not everyone pays attention to. Nevertheless, it is better if the minimum amount of free space that it asks for is present on the C drive. The registry is also recommended to regularly check and clean from old records that remain after installing / uninstalling programs. Special utilities for optimizing it will help in this case, simplifying the task to a few mouse clicks.

The solution is to clean the cookies. You can use the CCleaner cleanup program or do everything manually. In most browsers, this is done in a very similar way, with slight differences. In Mozilla, just go to Tools, then Settings, where in the Privacy section there will be a button "Clear Recent History". This is the cache memory. It is also recommended to free the required space on the system disk and clean the registry. For the latter, the Vit Registry Fix or Registry life programs are suitable, although the CCleaner mentioned above will cope with the task.

Paranoid Antivirus

Most antiviruses have several modes of operation for ease of use. They differ in the degree of computer protection from external threats, and there are very meticulous options. If you choose this mode, the program will carefully check each incoming connection. This, in turn, can be another reason why the browser does not open the page. This includes other protection programs, such as firewalls and firewalls OS. You need to carefully choose the mode of their work, tk. He can not so much protect the computer from real threats, how much to act to the detriment of the user's interests.

Solution: disable the firewall, replacing it with a good firewall (by the way, many browsers already have built-in protection). Make the antivirus settings less stringent or disable the firewall and Internet services. If this does not help, do not forget to put everything in its place.

Of course, the wrong connection protocol, slow Internet and obsolete equipment will also play a role. But this is understandable to everyone, so it is pointless to describe these problems in detail. The only thing that can be advised, if all of the above did not help, is to check the network connection settings. To do this, open the properties of the network interface and see if the checkboxes are in front of the corresponding items. Particular attention should be paid to the "Internet Protocol TCP / IP", "QoS Packet Scheduler" and "Client for Microsoft Networks".
