Hi Overju,

AFAIK File_Girl's fix shouldn't do anything except add a new list of IPs for LW to connect to.

Do you use an IP blocker (like PeerBlock or PeerGuardian)? I had a problem in the past where some sites suddenly were blocked & in the end it was a PeerGuardian issue.

Have you tried doing a System Restore?

Do you use any security programs which were (manually or automatically) updated around the time you started having problems?

Thanks for replying. Anyway, maybe it's windows defender? I'm not sure. I tried system restore yesterday, but it didn't work as well. It just made Limewire disappear but sites were still on a redirect loop.

But a funny thing happened. So I woke up today, and I still can't access some websites like Gmail, Paypal. etc. I'm a Google Chrome user, so I thought lets try Mozilla. And voila I got in the sites. So I thought maybe its a browser problem.

But then I tried Chrome again, and now those sites work again. O_o This is confusing. I noticed though that the brick wall icon on the bottom right is gone at the moment. So maybe it is Windows Defender screwing with me? I don't even remember it being there before. Its too much of a coincidence that it happened exactly after I used the host patch.

Somehow the problem fixed itself? Just as it began it ended without me not knowing what happened. Anyway thank you, you guys, sorry, if it seems I wasted a few secs of your life over nothing, but your replies gave me such relief. I was ready to reformat today. Now I don't have to.

Gonna try to reinstall LW again, hope it doesn't happen again. Hopefully its just some blocker screwing with me like you said. Thanks again guys.

Otherwise you could try searching the net for something like ' website Google Chrome redirect loop'... maybe other people have had this issue also. Don't know whether the link below will help, but maybe??

How to solve “This webpage has a redirect loop” error in Google Chrome | Black God

Hey thanks for the link, I feel like such a stupid noob for not thinking of searching about redirect loops in the first place, instead I wasted my time focusing/searching on the wrong things.

I read some of the comments, and some said their calendar and clock were suddenly off. When they fixed it everything went fine. That's exactly what I did moments ago before the problem disappeared. Now I'm gonna search about what could have done this clock haywire. Turns out it wasn't an effect, it was the cause of the problem. Thanks again, Birdy. Much appreciated.
