Hey, Lou: Yes, that last hint Was good for a lot of guys, but I don't have any change in my DNS server.
Curiously, I have 5 lines in my HijackThis scan that neither HijackThis nor a MANUAL removal attempt will remove from the registry and I suspect they may have something to do with the problem as I believe they are trojans:
4 lines of R1: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\ Main, Search Bar:
http://mynetzero.net/s/search?r=minisearch1 line of R0: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\
Search, SearchAssistant=http://mynetzero.net/s/search?r=minisearch
I had uninstalled Netzero, but these remained. When I try to manually modify/delete in the Registry, a warning pops up that "Not Allowed to Modify!" thus they remain......
what do you think?
thanks, lotus
