Troubleshooting Browser Issues

It is possible that your browser is having issues due to a virus or malware infection. Viruses and malware can cause your browser to malfunction, and can prevent web pages from loading or opening in any Internet browser. We recommend running a scan of your computer with an antivirus and antimalware program to check for any malicious programs that may be causing the issue. Once the scan is complete, it should identify any malicious programs that may be preventing your browser from functioning properly, and allow you to clean them off of your computer. After removing the viruses or malware, you should be able to open your browser again wthout any problems.
