Seeking your help in solving this problem. Have Windowsxp using IE6.
Problem occurs when using any of the search engines, like google or yahoo.
After typing in my topic in the search box, the search comes back with my
topic and websites associated with it. When I click on the topic, I go to a
website not related to the topic. And I also cannot use the back command.
In order to get to where I want, I have to copy and paste the url in the
address box. I have tried using Ad-Aware, that didn't work. I have remove
any programs that don't look familar. Anybody have any suggestion on what
else I can try? Thanks in advance.

Open my computer click on localdisk c:

double click on windows folder

(some times in this folder files will not be show you need to click on show
content )

double click on system 32 folder

double click on drivers folder

double click on etc folder

in side this folder there will be two files hosts and lmhosts

you need to rename hosts to hosts.old and lmhosts.old


it will fix the issue.
