Re: Google where is it?And Yahoo search?
 

http://216.239.51.99

That is googles IP address not the one you specified earlier,


Looks like the virus already got you.


Dont mean to be awful here but If symantec and other Virus companies have already seen which site the page is being director TO I would have though the ISP would already know and suspect that there may be some wrongdoing on that page and then have shut the site down hence why you get the page not found.

IF you ever get this problem again go to www.network-tools.com

Tick the PING section and then type in the domain name you want to find the IP addrfess.

go try it with www.yahoo.com

Re: Google where is it?And Yahoo search?
 

I'm sorted thanks to a suggestion at TOS.

I went to this site as suggested http://tomcoyote.org/hjt/

and downloaded HajackThis.


I cleared out all the google and yahoo stuff and now I can get to Google the usual way.

So I've patched IE6,searched for the DNS virus using the Symantic removal tool(no virus)run three differant Spyware applications(cleared out lots of crap) and I now have a new tool to clear out those naughty redirecting hijacking programmes.

I'm wondering just how much more crap I shall have to download to get rid of the other crap and what new crap I shall have to look out for.It's no wonder a 40 GB hard disk is getting smaller by the minute.The internet is definitely full of crap. :)

Incog :kiss:

Re: Google where is it?And Yahoo search?
 

For anyone who has had this problem to be on the safe side they are probably better just looking for all files names "hosts" and e then deleting them.

Quicker than having tio tick all those boxes , in that Hijack program. (It is a good un though)
