in a corporate environment this is typical with their proxy not allowing most video sites.

Hi David,<br />
<br />
Thank you for your comment.<br />
I am actually not in a corporate environment. This is a private network, and there is no issue with the other computers connected to the same router and modem.
</div>


<div>
What are your current DNS settings? - to help diagnose the problem you might try switching your first DNS server IP to 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, (Cloudflare and Google respectively)<br />
<br />
Also worth clearing your DNS resolver cache:<br />
At command prompt:<br />
<b>ipconfig /flushdns</b>
</div>


<div>
Funny thing : when I try to connect to my router (192.168. etc.), I again get redirected to google.com (only on this computer, not on the other ones).<br />
<br />
So there seems to be something wrong on this computer (malware maybe? although my antivirus program doesn't detect anything).
</div>


<div>
Hi MASQ,<br />
<br />
Just installed the program (could access the website from the concerned PC) and ran it : no threat detected...
</div>


<div>
Then try resetting each of your browsers:<br />
<br />
Chrome<br />
<a href="https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214" rel="ugc nofollow">https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214</a><br />
<br />
Firefox<br />
<a href="https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-preferences-fix-problems" rel="ugc nofollow">https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-preferences-fix-problems</a><br />
<br />
IE<br />
<a href="https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17441/windows-internet-explorer-change-reset-settings" rel="ugc">https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17441/windows-internet-explorer-change-reset-settings</a>
</div>


<div>
Resetting the browsers did not help unfortunately.<br />
<br />
Additional (weird) info: on Firefox, when I log in my Google account, I can access Youtube (and only youtube, vimeo f.i. still does not work).<br />
<br />
But this only happens with Firefox! IE and Chrome still redirect to google.com
</div>


<div>
OK this now happens with Chrome as well (seems quite random) but definitely not with IE.
</div>


<div>
What about an Incongnito tab in Chrome?<br />
Do you have any toolbars installed?
</div>


<div>
Same with Incognito tab. And no particular toolbars installed.
</div>


<div>
Hmm... imagine this is getting rather annoying! &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Have a look at the contents of your Hosts file too especially if there's anything in there with google mentioned<br />
<br />
The rest of my shopping list of things to try is covered nicely here:<br />

<br />
Although I don't think this is a virus, more likely something that has installed itself alongside something that you actually wanted.
</div>


<div>
Just found the cause of the issue. I have a parental control software installed on this computer (this is my son's PC).<br />
It was working fine for several years, and now for some reasons it started messing up with browsers...<br />
<br />
Uninstalled and installed it back, and now everything is working fine again...<br />
<br />
Thank you anyway for your effort to help me out !
</div>


<div>
so the parental control software was the proxy that was intercepting the calls to video sites.

Hi,<br />
<br />
I have an issue accessing Youtube. When I enter <a href="http://www.youtube.com" rel="ugc">www.youtube.com</a>&nbsp;in the address bar, I am redirected to google.com.<br />
I tried this with Firefox, Chrome and IE. I can not see embedded videos either.<br />
<br />
Same problem with vimeo (redirection to google.com as well), but no issue with dailymotion.<br />
<br />
Note: google.com is not even my default homepage !<br />
<br />
What could be the problem ??<br />
<br />
Thank you for your help.
