then maybe some malicious software has overwritten your hosts-file or dns configuration. could you download the hijackthis tool from http://sourceforge.net/projects/hjt/, right-click the downloaded file & run it as administrator, perform a scan and post the log here on the forum again.
edit: you only'd have to do this in case malwarebytes or the other programs cannot fix the issue

hello, please try to reset firefox and see if this can address the issue...
in addition run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner, microsoft safety scanner & kaspersky security scan.

i did reset and tried again but nothing
and i do have adw cleaner but it did not help after a full scan
ok, thanks for the screenshot - this seems malware related, please try a scan with the various products i've recommended above...
Okay i will see and try and tell u my feedback
thank you - in addition, could you go to firefox > help > troubleshooting information, copy the contents of the page and paste them here into a forum reply. in case this is caused by a malicious addon this would help us taking further actions against it...

ok, this all looks pretty normal - i suppose you've installed the IDM software intentionally on the pc (its extension is disabled anyway). does the same also happen with other browsers & can you access google by entering 173.194.39.46 into the address bar ?
i can access google by 173.194.39.46 but i cannot access it by google.com even on IE
And it shows this too if i used google.com and by the way i am scanning my computer with male ware bytes and it detected some male ware so i wait until it finishes

Thank you, you solved my problem.
great, what did it?! - maybe it will help other users searching for a solution here too...
You can also try Spybot Search and Destroy, it could be a host hijack type malware. http://www.safer-networking.org/
ohh sorry it didn't here is a part of the log files that hijach got i see that the hosts are changed and hijack gave me a dialogue box saying i have many hijacked host files it say i may delete host files and replace.
