Well to the looks of it a program is must be blocking it like firewall. You must have made the firewall to stop on entering that site. Or you must be using a establishment's computer like school network or other public areas. they might have blocked the computer on going to those kind of site's. which means you are not authorized to go there.



Now if you want to know why because they don't want unnecessary item to be in their computer. So you might want to try to see this site's newsletter why they don't want that to happen. The newsletter consist of reviews about computer security. So i think you will understand. http://systemsecurityinstitute.org/

Symptoms



You are unable to access normal web pages and are greeted with the error message Error 403 ? Access Forbidden / Access Denied.



Cause



This is caused by having incorrectly specified a proxy server in your Internet Explorer settings.



Resolution



To resolve this problem if using a broadband connection, you should remove the specified proxy from Internet Options by following these steps:



1. Click on Start

2. Click on Settings

3. Click on Control Panel

4. Double click on Internet Options

5. Click on the Connection Tab

6. Click the LAN Settings button and take the tick out of use proxy server.

7. Click OK



If you are using a variant of Windows XP and cannot see a proxy specified in the Lan Settings, you may have to tick the checkbox (to use a proxy) and then access the Advanced button and remove advanced proxy entries. Once this has been undertaken, please untick the use proxy server box and close all Internet Explorer windows.



Netscape users should click on Edit > Preferences > Advanced > Proxies. Ensure that you have selected a Direct connection to the Internet.



If you are using a dial-up connection, then each setting specified is specific to that connection. This is the process to specify/remove proxy settings on a dial-up connection.



1. Click on Start

2. Click on Settings

3. Click on Control Panel

4. Double click on Internet Options

5. Click on the Connection Tab

6. Click on the dial up connection that you want to apply the settings to

7. Click the Settings button on the right

8. You can now click on Use a Proxy server and specify or remove the IP and Port used.

9. Click OK. Click OK





More Information



If this does not resolve the issue, it is likely that you may be attempting to access a page which requires authentication. It is also possible, but not particularly likely, that there is a fault with the proxy (either transparent or one you have specified) which is causing this error. This can be checked by trying a different proxy and seeing if that one works.

Follow these steps: Click the Windows "Start" button and select "Settings." From the menu, click "Control Panel. Double-click the "Administrative Tools" icon. In this list of consoles, double-click the "Internet Information Services" icon. This opens the IIS settings console. Right-click the directory from which web browsers are receiving the 403 error. Click the "Properties" entry in the menu. Hope this helped... Good Luck! :D Click the "Directory Security" tab in the Properties window. Click the first button that is labeled "Edit" in the "Anonymous Access" section. In this window, check the box that says "Anonymous Access." Click "OK" to return to the Properties window. Click the "Directory" tab in the Properties window. Ensure that no other check boxes except "Read" are checked in the "Permissions" section. This allows users to read and browse website pages. Click the "OK" button. Verify the changes by opening your web browser and entering the website domain in the address bar.
