Cant connect to websites

[Rustys]

do i need to buy another computer?

would be the best thing to do with the advances that have been made this is your best option.

Vista is NOT secure to be use online and there is nothing that can make that happen.

Now adays newer software requires newer hardware and operating systems.

You could try Linux and Linux Mint would be the closest to Windows that you can use if that system is 64 bit.

I haven’t used Vista in a long time so have no further suggestions.

You need to run the command under command prompt with administrator Privileges.

How do i do that?

How do i do that?

If you right click on start does the option show? If not then try search function for command with admin.

[Rustys]

Did you try the command using the Admin Command Prompt like @Bastet stated.

when you get to the command prompt in the start menu right click and select Admin

type the following command

ipconfig /flushdns

That did not work until windows version 8.x

when you get to the command prompt in the start menu right click and select Admin

type the following command

ipconfig /flushdns

Im right clicking and a list comes up but nothing about admin privileges.

You would enter the flushdns commands in the cmd prompt with admin windows the error shown suggest that the command requires admin for it to run.

Are you logged in as an Adminstrator user

First, let me say malnutrition has been an awesome help so far in getting the malware and junk off the comp. The original problem again was when i click on some sites a screen will come up saying “checking to see if connection is secure”. Then it says with a checkmark “connection is secure” but instead of connecting it just goes back in the loop again.

As asked are you logged in with an administrator account?
