Hello
On my computer I am not able to access a specific website and that is paypal
I always get the same errors

In Firefox:
Secure Connection Failed Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
In Chrome:
Secure Connection Failed Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
In Internet Explorer:
Error 404
In Opera:
Secure Connection Failed Error code: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long
In Safari:
Error 404



This isn't a browser issue because nobody was able to help me at the mozilla support forums(Firefox is the main browser I use).Obviously there is something in my computer that is blocking me from using paypal
I cleaned my registry.
I ran a full PC scan with security essentials.
I ran a deep scan with malwarebytes.
I ran disk cleanup.
I also checked with some commands in cmd.exe
"ping paypal"- Packets: Sent=4 Received=4 Lost=0
"nslookup paypal"- Server:Unknown Address:My IP pops up
I still can't access paypal
It certainly has nothing to do with my internet,or IP because on another PC with the same internet connection paypal is accessible.

Any solution?
 
Tried already,my firewall does allow secure site access.
I also tried to enable access specificly to paypal but it doesn't help
 
I have found the solution!
It turns out there was an unauthorized edit(most likely by spyware or malware) to my hosts.etc file at
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
I opened the hosts file as a text document and removed the paypal adress+IP/DNS adress that was put in
After which I have regained full access to the website

Thanks for taking the time to help me.
