"Connection was Refused" -Solution!


Recommended Posts

I dont know if anyone here has had the "The connection was refused when trying to contact [site name]". Well I had, and it was only for secure sites. I'm running XP Home, SP1, and Norton Internet Security 2004. I came across a tool for totallly removing NIS, since I couldn't (said I wasn't logged it, couldn't easily uninstall it), and ran it. Came back today, and it's perfect!

So, moral is-if you ever get this error, try removing any Anti-virus/Firewall software you have and see if that fixes it.

Here's the removal tool:

Here's a thread about the entire problem, with various "fixes"

Hope this helps ;)
