ESET Smart Security is blocking youtube and metacafe in FF and in IE. Chrome opens normally youtube and metacafe.
I already deleted FF and IE rules and I'm using Interactive firewall mode.
But those video sites still don't open.
When I disable SS firewall youtube and metacafe open in FF and IE.
Thanks!

Could you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing when browsing to youtube?

Yes, it's here.

It's a pretty small thumbnail, I can't seem to zoom it. But from glance it seems the actual connection is being interrupted. When ESET blocks a site it shows a big red warning. Could you post a readable screenshot so we can see the error?

Sorry, I now corrected the link.

Thanks, unfortunately I can't read your language so I can't make sense of the error. Does it translate to this?

Yes, that's the correct translation.

Could you browse to here:
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
Open up the files "HOSTS" with wordpad/notepad and tell me the contents? Is youtube mentioned there?

hosts:
# Copyright (c) 1993-2006 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
# localhost name resolution is handle within DNS itself.
# 127.0.0.1 localhost
# ::1 localhost
It doesn't have any references to youtube nor metacafe.

Problem solved. I'm using speedbit video accelerator and I accidentally blocked its access to internet.
