Hello Everyone,
I am using Microsoft Win XP Home professional and Google Chrome version 4.1.249.1036 (Official Build 41514) unknown. I am having problem with connecting to the websites in the Google chrome. It gives me the error message “Error 102 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED): Unknown error”.
Google Chrome opens fine and with no problem and showing all the recent sites visited but as soon as I connect to the site it shows that error message. I cannot even open the proxy settings in the options. I have also tried to remove malware from my system using Malwarebytes anti-malware but nothing happens. Can someone please help guide me through this issue and how to resolve it?
Thank you in Advance.

There are several factors which could be causing this error message to appear. You may try the following:
1. Check for malware: I understand you have already scanned your computer using Malwarebytes. You may still have remnants of the malware in your computer which is causing this.
Just to make sure, you might want to try running Trend Micro’s House call. It’s an online free scanner with the Smart Protection Network integrated, which is also what they have in their security software. Here’s the link:

Error 102 on Chrome means there is a missing component which is called the expand.exe that prevents Chrome to install properly. If you receive this error on browsing using Chrome, try to uninstall it and remove all the contents of Chrome and then reinstall it back.
Or you can also check for the expand.exe file by clicking on the Start and then type expand.exe on your computer. Once you locate the file, go to the C: WindowsSystem32 directory and move the expand.exe. The file is also available on your Windows installation disc.
When you already copied it, reinstall Chrome again and then change the location of the temp folder by clicking on the Start menu and then Run. Enter C: and then click OK. Make a temporary folder through the File and then New and then click on Folder. Name your folder "test" and then click on Start and then Run again and go to the Command Prompt.
Type "set TMP=C: test" and then reinstall the browser by typing the following in the Command Prompt: start ChromeSetup.exe.
