check your hosts file in C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc and open it in notepad. check for any redirects at the bottom
There wasnt anything in that folder but a single IP address...?

Do you have any idea of what to do?
Does your connection appear at all? Try wired.... also, open internet explorer, go to tools, internet options, connections, lan settings, and make sure it hasnt put a proxy on. (boxes should all be unchecked).

No idea if that's the advice you need.... but it could be worth a go.
i'll have to give that a try mate, everthing else has appeared to have magically pissed off in terms of virus pop-ups etc. thanks again for the advice DRTY :W:

don't want to come across as a dick but that wasn't very clever. half the battle in keeping your computer safe from viruses etc is common sense rather than having the latest anti virus software or firewalls etc. i agree with xarcane that it's the responsibility of the forum to do it's best to keep you all safe where possible but users need to be vigilant here and everywhere else on the internet to try and avoid problems because ultimately it's you that's going to have to go through all the ballache of fixing problems and not us
Very glad the dancing pigs analogy was brought up because for me I had to check to see if I can a post on a track I put in the dubs section. I just had to!! ( Got nothing, but hit double digits on the amount of views. GET IN)

I still use an adblocker on my mac. And if you have an anti-virus installed the Mac/PC thing is redundant. A lot of website get caught out; we just have admins who love us enough to apologize and sort it out nice and quickly.

:U:

Guess what. It's back!

Can you not get rid of that bloody ad banner that no-one ever clicks on anyway?

I have 3 AVs to scan my machine and can find nothing.

I know I still have malware as Google is still redirecting my searches to random sites.
