Can anyone help me?I get this instead:

@bobamamda-0 Well, you just waited for a day.
Do you use any antivirus or some other program that intercept your internet traffic?

Thanks for responding.
I use Malwarebytes and Avast.
I received no warning from Avast while I was trying to access any web sites.
When I read you entry here, I ran Malwarebytes and came up clean.
There had been no change in any of my software settings in a long time. -

We have DSL with AT&T. We use a router to which a few computers are linked. We don't use a VPN, if that is what you mean by a proxy.

@bobamamda-0 AT&T offers some kind of protection service for the internet? Based on the first image, it seems that AT&T is intercepting the internet traffic.

Thanks for responding. I wondered about that because of the ereservations.att.com web site that was listed above. The situation has cleared up. If it occurs again, I will go straight to ATT.
