The requested Web page is categorized as "sex " and has been blocked by Web Content Filter. Please contact your system administrator for further information. This is what appears when I try to access some websites I usually go. Yesterday night it was fine. Today it's a clusterf*ck! I've tried the Internet Options in Tools and nothing works. Any idea on how to make this go the hell away? I'm using Firefox and have the ESET anti virus, in case you need to know...

Hmm..... I wonder if it's parental control? Or.. someone is control, and viewing what your doing, means they have a keylogger set up, so that you won't be able to view some web pages, or use some programs.. Hmm.. I'm not sure. If you've already checked the settings for your browser. Then you should be contacting your browser's company, and letting them know that you can't view some webpages. And hey, as it mentioned in the message you got, it says contact your Admin. So if your user is as a standard user, then contact your admin, and tell them if they blocked some of the websites. Good Luck ; )

Someone may have turned on the Parental Controls in Windows. Go to the control panel and check the Parental Controls panel. If it is on, you'll have to find the person who set the password to get them to unlock it. Alternately, if that isn't the problem, try loading IE and / or installing Google Chrome to see if those browsers work. If they do, try uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox. If that doesn't fix it, and you haven't installed some other parental control (I'm not sure if eset nod32 comes in a suite with parental controls), you may have to use IE or Chrome or another browser until the next time you need to reinstall Windows, which will fix it.
