I ran all the virus programs again, and the one you posted the link to - and it says there's nothing there, so I don't know.

I hate computers.

Go to the folder: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and open the file called "hosts". You can double click on it and then select notepad as the app to open it with.

If there are any lines beyond what you see below, then delete them, as they are acting as overrides:


# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

This is all that came up when I pulled up the notepad after going into that file:

127.0.0.1 localhost

that's it :/

it's a 1k file, so it's not big at all ... I have no idea why that's all that's there.

I hate computers, I really do.
