If you are getting connection refused from www.googletagservices.com , www.google-analytics.com , www.gstatic.com and then something is blocking it. You havent gone and put a hosts file in redirecting it to a different IP address have you? One of the misguided things that some privacy nuts do is suggest that people put sites in there that they dont like pointing to localhost.

PIng them and see what IP address is returned.

I get:

C:\>ping www.googletagservices.com

If you only have IPv4 then you will of course get something different, but if you get ::1: or 127.0.0.1 as the address then it has a misconfigured hosts file on the computer. Possibly left by some over-zelous "security" software that has not cleaned up after itself when removed.
