Yesterday, I accidentally deleted my browser’s cache(I wanted to delete the cookies, not the cache). I’m using Firefox and since then I can’t access some sites like piratebay.org and pornhub anymore. I was able to access those sites for 2 years now. But now, whenever I try to access them the browser acts as if those sites never exist.
What can I do to solve this?
Thank you.

Also security and privacy settings; have any of those changed – or may be affecting the situation?
Another long shot – download and burn to a DVD the Kaspersky Rescue disk ISO. Then boo t with that. It will load a linux based OS into RAM only; then will go online to update its definitions etc. After-which it will scan the entire drive – “all” windows files included” and clear out any pests/nasties it find…

And if you haven’t already run all of the following – then do so…
Run them in this order:
Adwcleaner

Malwarebytes

Junkware Removal Tool (JRT)

Installs to the desktop, from you run it. It will open into a small dis style window; follow instructions therein. It will reboot the system as part of its process.
One other solution that occasionally resolves similar issues is to cold boot the router. Power down; leave it for about five minutes – remove the main/power cord too (or otherwise ensure there are “no” volts going into the router. Power up and see if problem if persists or not?
