NO VIRUS, BUT SEARCH ENGINES AREN'T WORKING...

[Pam G]

i've already checked to see if i have the Trojan.Qhosts
(http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcenter/venc/data/tr
ojan.qhosts.html) as suggested by a previous thread, and I
don't have it. YET, my search engines don't work. In
fact, my status bar says "www.www.google.com.com" and then
tried "www.www.google.com.net" and stuff when I type in
www.google.com. does ANYBODY know what is going on?????

Hi Pam

This issue could be related to corrupt host files.

Try these steps
1) From the Start menu on your computer, click Search. (In
some versions of Windows®, you must click Find.)

2) Select All files and folders. (Some versions of Windows
list this option as Files or Folders.)

3) Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) in the file name
box and click Search. (Some versions of Windows list this
as Find Now.)

4) Once you locate the "hosts" file within your Windows or
WINNT directory, right click the file and click Delete.


Thanks
Kasey

ANWER TO YOUR QESTIONS>


To resolve the issue you have to delete host files from
your computer.

Here are the steps to delete host files:


1) From the Start menu on your computer, click Search. (In
some versions of Windows®, you must click Find.)

2) Select All files and folders. (Some versions of Windows
list this option as Files or Folders.)

3) Type "hosts" (without quotation marks) in the file name
box and click Search. (Some versions of Windows list this
as Find Now.)

4) Once you locate the "hosts" file within your Windows or
WINNT directory, right click the file and click Delete.



NOTE:--> Please delete all the host files from your
computer inculding lmhost file. If you are unable to
delete lmhost file in that case you have close Internet
Explorer browser and then try to delete host files.
