CC,
Are you using a HOSTS file? (see below)
Sounds like you need to tighten up your settings ...

nite...  Grrrr!  I don't how they're getting around everything I have
running.   Plus it's all updated.  One of them is this Trojan horse
Dyfica... looks like it'll have to be removed manually as I did the other.
:(   I did figure out where they came from... my daughter plays on an game
site (Wheel of Fortune addict)  so I told her she won't be going there
again, as that's obviously where they're coming from.
