Search Engine Site

When I try to enter www.google.com or ask.com, a website called c-panel comes up and says "There is no website configured at this address." The search engines on msn and yahoo don't work either. The only search engine I've been able to use is dogpile.com. Does anyone know whats going on? Help.

Run ad-aware and spybot. Chances are you went to a site that has malicious coding.

It sure sounds like its Qhosts but I d/l the fixer and it didn't find Qhosts on the computer. I have done spyware/antivirus searches over a million times. Ne other suggestions?

Is this a windows xp machine? If so, try glc's tip on flushing dns. Open the command prompt and type ipconfig /flushdns

Let us know how it works out.

Hey

sounds exactly like what happened to me... i didnt have any qhosts virus, but GLC had a neat trick that did the job for me and i'm just fine.. so check out: http://forum.pcmech.com/showthread.p...threadid=76637 and a little over 2/3 down check out his reply that says "Check your HOSTS file. Search for it - it's HOSTS with NO extension - rename it to HOSTS.OLD and try it."

good luck!
