1355961 2013-10-13 07:08:00 I get this '403 Forbidden' error window pops up with 'nginx' for about 10 seconds then disappears whenever I watch online video. It's annoying.

It only happens with my Asus laptop and my Desktop opens the same site absolutely fine.

Both IE and Firefox are having exactly the same errors. I've cleared the browsers' cache and history without joy.


How do I get rid of this annoying error?

OS : Win 8 x64

1355962 2013-10-13 08:31:00 That error is normally generated by the site meaning its possible something nasty in your computer may be trying to access it ( read as possible malware) :2cents:

Suggestion: run www.bleepingcomputer.com - ( dark blue button from Authors Site) See if it finds anything

PS: read the wording in the CMD window when it runs other wise you may wonder whats going on.

1355963 2013-10-13 08:56:00 I did restore to factory defaults from the HDD restore partition and still getting the error.

I've downloaded the tool from your link and am trying to run it now. See how it goes.

System is clean.

1355965 2013-10-13 09:14:00 Thats weird, If it were getting the error on both Laptop and Desktop it could be the site, but if the desktop is OK, that would normally mean its something on the laptop.

See the main causes of the error : 403error (pcsupport.about.com)

Can you post a link to the place you are trying to access and getting the error.

Just curious, does windows update work ?

1355966 2013-10-13 19:20:00 I think I've solved the problem after installing FF addon - Adblock plus. The annoying error pop up is gone now.

Don't quite understand why is it so, though.
