I need help. I did a scan with JetClean and now I cannot access some sites, like youtube and yahoo answers , all of a sudden. It's like my internet was affected. I tried with several browsers and I rebooted my pc and by router, I did a scan with Malwarebytes and Superantispyware free, there are no viruses or trojans on my PC. I don't know what to do.

Press Win +R, copy-paste this:

Code:
notepad %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Press Enter. Check if you see any suspicious items in the file.

Hope these help to you
That seems to have helped. I will have to check all websites and see, but the ones that were previously unaccessable work now. Thank you. I will update this thread if I encounter any further problems.

Also, the title was supposed to say "access", not "answer", and I cannot modify it. Perhaps a moderator could...

I use CCleaner but not for registry cleaning!
It does more harm than good with no discernible increase in performance!
It can "break" your registry!
I agree even though CCleaner is more safe than other cleaners, registry cleaners usually cause more problems than what they fix.
Also some aggressive cleaners can delete important system and user settings, always pay close attention to what you want to clean.
Lite cleaners don't clean as much but are more safer than the ones that clean a lot.

Deleting browser cache, cookies and temp files usually just causes your browser to run slower because everything has to be created again, so the only time I delete these items is when I have a problem with a website.

Enjoy!! :D
