i figured it was something deeper than Muffs explanation. nevertheless, i took Muff's advice and cleaned up my adwares.
apparently while using another browser, i don't run in such problems so i don't think ur explanation totally sums it up.
anyone else who can propose a better theory? |

I did have one machine at work that I could just NOT figure out.
It was some type of DNS hi-jacker that got installed and would NOT go away.
I've seen a couple called QHost; it's been around for about a year but it's still out there...
QHost-1 Trojan changes DNS settings, exploits IE |

BINGO
excellent work Jeff. i will work on how to get my DNS server settings back to their original settings and will get back to u incase anyone has the same problem.
update: i was too lazy to get my DNS settings to default so i just deleted the reigstery substring as it said on the site... did it work? lol no not really |
