No matter what website I go to, I get a 'cannot find server'/'page cannot be displayed' error. Also, every time I try to go to a page, it says "Connecting to site 127.0.0.1" in the status bar. Right now I have to use Mozilla. (Sorry to Mozilla fans, but I don't like it nearly as much as IE. :P)

so reinstall/update IE and that doesnt work just search around for a new browser that u like. I use mozilla firefox 9.2, and deepnet explorer which lets you search and download files from the gnutella network while browsing

So far, no good. :sad:

Download and run this fully working 30 day trial version Trojan Hunter.

*Sigh* It still won't work. Maybe the ISP just sucks or something...Now Mozilla won't open half the pages, either. :mad:

The pages that won't open in Mozilla include www.Mozilla.org and www.microsoft.com, and all of the links listed in the last post...but I had someone download those programs and send them to me through MSN Messenger.

Well if you used hijackthis ,post a hijack log .You are not suppose to post it in this fourm though maybe a mod can move this thread over to Security

I'm mad; it still won't work, and yet it has been three months since I posted this. :evil: There are no trojans, no viruses, no worms, on this computer. Also, I can't use my newly-created automatic update feature in my game (which works perfectly fine on my other computer). :(


(Even if it was a virus or trojan, it wouldn't take three months to discover it)

3 mnts and you still haven't posted a Hijackthis LOG! :)

3 mnts and you still haven't posted a Hijackthis LOG! :)

Agreed, the best way for anyone here to help you is for you to post a HJT log (in the Security forum). No one can 'discover' what is on your system without something to go by. :)
