No google.com anymore for me? oh sh**

[eppik]

Recently i have been infected by a Spyware infected file...sorry for the languge

anyway what hapenned it turned my homepage to sex.com (yes its gross)

and it blocked me from being able to change the homepage

After that i got rid of all of it using AVG AV and AVG anti spyware.

The HP issue is gone but now:

Whenever i write www.google.com it says its not available but every other domains work (google.pt, google.co.uk, google.es etc...)

AND i have apache running in my Box so when i trie to acess google.com guess what hapens? yes...i goes into my server dir....

I've searched the intire registry manually to find the flaw but havent been sucessfull.


plz help me

Look up some information on the windows HOSTS file, which is what windows refers to before going to a web site. Basically, it checks for "www.whatever.com" in that file, then if it finds it in that file, it goes to the IP associated with it.

For instance, your local IP is 127.0.0.1, and is better known as localhost.

This is actually declared in the hosts file as the following:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1      localhost

The hosts file is in the following path: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc

If the HOSTS file is not the problem, please reply back. Also, i doubt that the registry would have that much effect on your internet in that aspect.
