Hi,
I installed a safe-browsing web filter application onto our PC called kurupira.net but found it was slowing my pc down a lot so I decided to uninstall it and look for alternatives. Using control panel, I tried uninstalling but it kept showing a prompt saying “this program is running please disable it , WARNING DO NOT end the program via task manager, this may cause connection issues”
Well.. I was an idiot and was in a rush so I didn’t fully read the message and ended the program using task manager —> end task. So I did the exact thing it warned not to do.
I managed to uninstall it using a third party uninstaller but cannot connect to any webpage using Google Chrome ( error message is "this site can’t be reached - ERR CONNECTION REFUSED). I also can’t connect to the internet using any other application like games etc. However, I AM able to connect using Microsoft Edge browser which seems strange. My question is how do I connect to the internet normally again? Or have I completely messed up my PC? I’ve tried reinstalling google chrome and deleting Kururpira’s files in the registry but it hasn’t worked. Any help would be appreciated as I am not very tech- savvy, many thanks!
