| Search not working right... :sad: i cant search anymore by just typing in something in the address bar at the top, i used to be able to type something such as "dogs" (with out the quotation marks) then press enter and it would take me to the MSN page of results. now i cant do that and when i try to search through YAHOO or any other site, once i fill in what i want to search for, then hit enter, it says things like... The page cannot be found The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. help me!!! im going insane!!! also google seems to work but you cant scroll all the way down the pages displaying the search reults, or even when you click on a search result, you cant scroll all the way down the webpage you clicked on either?!?!?! im so confused, i downloaded some patch from the msn page when i read this (which comes up when you type in just www.google.com) "A message from Server Admin: Some people have reported arriving at our error page after typing in or clicking a link to a major search engine. After extensive research into the issue we have found that one of our server I.P. addresses has been targeted by a virus which you may have on your computer called "QHosts". This virus was made several months before we were allocated the server I.P. addresses we have now, and therefore we have no control over it (much to our dismay as it causes disruption to our servers on a regular basis, however it is gradually diminishing.) The Microsoft cumulative patch for this vulnerability is available here." when you click on the link to google it has at the bottom of this page, it takes you to http://justtemplates.com/google.html im so confused!!!!!!! |

| Re: Search not working right... also, some wierd blue and red screen (looks like the DOS screen format with the block lettering and all) comes up every once and a while telling me i have a trojan virus... my AVG virus checker told me i have it as well telling me it was a trojan horse downloader c:\_restore\temp\a0000736.cpy vb.dq in my c:\_restore\temp\a0000722.cpy and c:\_restore\temp\a0000735.cpy but that has just started coming up and now the virus checker has not found any lately.... but when it did find those, it said it couldnt heal them... this is seperate from my searching problem i think, because it just started, and my searching problem has been going on for almost 5 months, i have been trying to fix it forever!!!!!!!!! |

| Re: Search not working right... First of all you need to flush your system restore to get rid of the virus. Switch off system restore (Note that a new one will be created from here on & you will lose all previous restore points) & Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you. Next we need to do a few things before switching restore back on. Download & instal Adaware from here & update it B4 scanning. In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to 'scan within archives,' 'scan active processes,' 'scan registry,' 'deepscan registry' 'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,' 'scan my host's file.' In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.' Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.' Select 'activate in-depth scan' before starting scan. When the scan is finished select 'next.' Remove what it finds by placing a check in the box to the left of the object. Reboot Download & instal Spybot S&D from here Update it B4 scanning. Go into settings & have it check for Beta releases also & download if available. After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED. On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it. Reboot Download HijackThis from here & unzip it into it's own, permanent folder, (not a temporary folder & not on the desktop). Start HJT & press the scan button. When the scan is finished the scan button will change to save. Save the log to a text file, copy the entire contents of the text file & paste it into the body of your post. DO NOT FIX ANYTHING YET. Most of what is there is harmless & even necessary to the running of your system. |

| Re: Search not working right... Just navigate to their location & delete them. Then follow the instructions from my first post. If anything is left over it should be picked up by hijackthis. |
