IE 6.0 Masters please help me

[WhitEGT]

For some reason all the of the sudden i'm having a problem typing in sites.

If I type just, for example www.yahoo.com, I get this in the address bar.
http://bigbr.cc7%62%72%2e%63%63/?u=1507&error=www.yahoo.com

If I type in http://www.yahoo.com or any other site it works fine.

I've ran 2 types of spyware software and removed a bunch but this is still happening. I've never even been to that bigbr.cc before and it just popped up all the sudden. It's a reall pain in the ass too.

Any ideas anyone.

Thanks

you need to edit your hosts file and remove the rouge entries.

Cruz is right.

Goto:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\

and edit the hosts file with Notepad. Save it again (no extension such as .txt)

Only one you should have in there is 127.0.0.1 for your localmachine

Ok I did what you said. And now it gives me the same shit in the address bar but this is what's on the page "Requested resource not available."

Below is what is in there now.

# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost



Thanks for the help guys.

Do you have a file on your pc named bigbr? I am just asking because when I clicked on your second link http://bigbr.cc7%62%72%2e%63%63/?u=...r=www.yahoo.com (http://bigbr.cc7%62%72%2e%63%63/?u=1507&error=www.yahoo.com) It wanted me to down load a file named bigbr.cc7br.com. Do a search for it and delete if found.
