OK, no spyware or virus detectors pick up anything, but awhile ago, it linked me to some other... undesirable places when I type in a URL wrong. Instead of your friendly neighborhood Page not found error, I get a page filled with fake (or real...) links to all sorts of porn.
the pages I get redirected to are all the same exact one, but under like 5 million domain names, so blocking them through the hostfile doesn't work. some of these pages are foxic.net and wbr4.com and unavailablepage.com there is nothing obscene on these pages that I can see, only words and links. stay away from there and you should be fine... there are more Domain names, but I dont know how many, and I only get 192.255 from the IP address of the site when I go there, I cant freeze it long enough to read it all. is there any way to get my regular error pages back? I'm using the latest firefox, and I have no clue how they got there, or whats making them tick... |

My suggestion: Block http://209.85.51.151/ and get rid of all 5 million domains in one. (I think that will work, but I don't know how you're blocking them.)
To reset the search, type "about:config" in the address bar then filter for "keyword.URL" and change the bad link. Improve your search while you're at it. ____________________ "I'm sick of it and I'm out. See you around." ~Cpu's last post here |

Or you could just use Opera and bypass the whole about:config bullshit entirely... 
And besides, Joe, in the event he does have some form of nasty malware, just blocking the hosts file variant won't help much (if at all). ____________________ I dealt with it. |
