There might be a visible pop-up that states that the browser has blocked admission to the site. Some browsers might let you to bypass the warning and keep going. However, if there is no alternative to disregard and go on then the website might have been blocked by a setting within the browser which fully denies entry to some websites.

You may see under SECURITY an option to automatically block particular websites and from here you may un-check that box to allow entry. If these changes do not remedy your problem, restore the alternatives to their former settings and check your internet security suite.

All software security suites such as NORTON INTERNET SECURITY or BIT-DEFENDER INTERNET SECURITY will often have an selection to disable the security for a limited time or until the next time the PC is restarted. The selection for disabling your security can be found by right-clicking on the icon for your security suite and then clicking on the correct DISABLE selection. If you succeed in getting on the site now, reboot your computer and set up a security exclusion for the website in your security suite. This is achieved by finding the appropriate menu in your security suite and adding the address for the site that you wish to visit.
