Access Denied Error

I am all of a sudden getting Access Denied errors when visiting a variety of different types of sites. I have read in the help menus that I need to go into the history and select to forget the site. While that temporarily fixes it, the error inevitably returns when trying to access these sites. I have disabled the Nord VPN and my ESET virus software but it does not help.

I have to go into Edge to access the sites as Edge does not give me the same error. This is making the browser nearly unusable. Please help.

Hi

ESET antivirus can sometimes cause issues where it is not up to date. I recommend that you try turning it on and making sure it is fully up to date.

ESET is fully up to date.
