Whenever I go to some pages it loads via av.rds.yahoo.com before receiving an error message about checking web settings etc. Is this correct going via av.rds.yahoo.com??

...before receiving an error message about checking web settings

Please give us the exact text of the error message; the more specifics we have, the faster we'll be able to help you.

Is this correct going via av.rds.yahoo.com??

Possibly; av.rds.yahoo.com is a valid Yahoo address, so it may or may not be part of your problem. Again, some specifics will help:

- Give us the URLs of some of the sites that exhibit the problem.

- Do you have anything Yahoo-related in your browser setup (the Yahoo tool bar, using Yahoo as your home page, etc.), or does your Internet Service Provider have some sort of affiliation with Yahoo?
