There was something weird happening with DNS last night on Netvigator (I got bounced to Yahoo when I typed something else entirely). Not sure if it is fixed yet - at work I am virtually in the US.

No problem here. If you are running NT, 2000 or XP you could run up task manager and look for anything suspicious taking up excessive cpu cycles.

There's a lot of crap floating around that you can't pick up with any spyware or antivirus programs...I like to format all my computers every 3-6 months. They run like new afterwards

Adaware found a few criticals....nothing unusual about that....quarantined....... but still no joy!

I try to type in www.hotmail.com or variations and i always get bounced through to www.Foxmovies.com !!

I might install firefox and go from there. I am at work on work network, so assume they have reasonable anti virus running to protect the network?

It sounds like a DNS problem to me - nothing to do with your PC...

No joy! I can get to my account page, but when I hit the hotmail link........my old friend foxmovies makes a show.

However, it is happening to everyone in the company, so I am not sure if our network is playing cricket.
