Hi guys,

Is anybody else having this problem with Google Chrome browser?

It was working very well before. Then I installed Symantec Antivirus and all of a sudden Chrome does not go to any webpages, giving me the error:

Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): Unknown error.

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Chrome. That did not work. Then I just decided to uninstall Symantec to see if that was the problem. I uninstalled it and tried to reopen Chrome. It still does not connect to the Internet. I also have Firefox so I can see that my internet connection clearly works.

Can anyone help me to fix this problem?

Thanks,
Samuel
