Search engine

[Phil]

Why doesen't the search button on windows XP work? Prior
windows always seemed to have a default search engine. I
have to connect to another web site to do a search. When
I typen in a name in the address bar if the address is
not correct I get a "can not connect page".

Hi there Phil,

Your system probably is affected by the QHosts trojan.

[This Trojan Horse that will modify the TCP/IP settings to point to a
different DNS server. Blocks many search engines]
