Hi DaniWeb Family !
I have a Dell Inspiron laptop , 64 bit system with Windows 7 on it.
For some strange reason, I turned on the laptop and I can't go on Google , any more.. I can go on any other website, but just not Google.
When I try to go on Google, I get a " HTTP 400 Bad Request" error. Down below that it says, " The webpage cannot be found".
I ran CCleaner, Eusing Registry Repair, and I went on line an did a virus scan on Eset.com. Eset scan showed no viruses. I also ran Malwarebytes and it showed one item......
Registry Keys Infected:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\OLT.exe (Security.Hijack) -> Quarantined and deleted successfully.
That didn't help the situation so I'm turning to you.
Has ayone got any suggestions on how to get to where I can go on google.com ?
