Re: Can't get to google

Thank-you, Thank-you, THANK-YOU!!!

Found the file, did what you said and all is good now!

Do i now need to do anything preventative so that it doesn't happen again?
Was it a virus that wasn't detected?

Thank you again so very much.

If yes, please delete the 'hosts' file and enter the following commands in a command
prompt...

ipconfig /flushdns
