Hi jholland1964
Thanks again for ur reply and suggestions. Yes I have installed 2 antivirus softwares and i never encountered any problem because of that. Also, previously I had a few problems and I sought help in Daniweb which were resolved successfully. Even that time I was not asked to uninstall anyone when the logs were reviewed by Daniweb experts, and so i too thought it is ok to have Mcafee and AVG alone as there is no reduction in system speed as well. If it is certainly necessary to uninstall anyone then I shall do it surely.
Yes it is my mistake that i made a quick scan instead of full scan. I didnt notice that properly and sorry for that. Now Im posting here the latest MBA log and Hijackthis log.
Then I dont know even what Bitdownload is. May be it is a software to download things via torrents. But i never used such a software in this name. I use utorrent only. Do u feel it is the one created the Bitdownload. Now i have uninstalled it. The last thing I tried to download is only a movie and not anyother application. Just before installing Firefox I installed Picasa 3. I would also like to mention here that Firefox is not my default browser. Im able to view all websites via Internet Explorer(Default Browser) though. But not through Firefox. I didnt install anything after Firefox as the moment i installed i tried to view pages using that and i encountered this problem and hence posted here.
The stuffs you explained about DNS server seem to be a little technical which Im not clear about it. Sorry for that. Can u kindly explain me in a little more detailed way. Please let me know what should I do next. Below is the logs from MBA and Hijackthis.
