    Google Problems

    When I click on something I've found on google it takes me to another search engine or random page. When I clear the private data it then lets me use google properly once then goes back to doing that again. I've tried a million different anti-spy systems, etc, etc but nothing works. Any ideas how to stop it???

    It's DNS poisoning mate, I don't have time to give you the speil now but let me get back to you tomorrow

    Quickly though:

    start > run > cmd "ipconfig /flushdns"

    c:/windows/system32/drivers/etc

    open the HOSTS file in notepad, make sure there is nothing other than "127.0.0.1 localhost" in there - if there is, delete and save(unless of course you have purposefully added an extra hosts file, or you have a new version of spybot which does it for you.)

    Also download HijackThis - http://majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

    ONLY run a scan and post the results :up:

    Google seems to know my postcode.

    How do I stop this?
