Huh
I found only one of the Hosts files that had an extension,
Hosts.sbs.sig It said it was for spyboy search and destroy. I changed the name to Hosts.old and I still had the problem. I guess I'll keep looking... |

It's the ones with NO extension (just HOSTS) that you want to rename to hosts.old.

I found part of it!
I can get to google and Hotbot and all now. One of the hosts files being re named allowed it. It was listed as a Hosts file for Windows Help. I changed it to Hosts.old and bingo! Now I just need to get the address bar to work as a search tool.....
Thanks for the help so far!!! |

All is well!
Everything works as before now. I am glad that is handled. But I'd like to find out where that came in and how, but more importantly who.....
