I went to a site and it popped up some question about 'trusting' a download from them. I did it and ever since then when ever I goto a mis-configured domain or something, for example: <a href="http://blah.pornoclause.com/" target="_blank">http://blah.pornoclause.com/</a> it'll take me to <a href="http://www.lop.com/dnserror.cgi?s=http://blah.pornoclause.com/" target="_blank">http://www.lop.com/dnserror.cgi?s=http://blah.pornoclause.com/</a> <br /><br />Anyone know how to stop this? I also get an annoying pop up box on my desktop to search their crap too. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

hmmm try checking a file called *hosts in your windows directory this might be redirecting it to the wrong place.<br /><br />Check your registry for things which are started with your computer, especially hta files.<br /><br />Check your startup folder.<br /><br />Try an anti-virus program.<br /><br />Reformat.<br /><br /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <br /><br />laters,<br />Chris

opps sorry after reading your post again i see that it'll be in your registry under internet explorer settings.<br /><br />search for that url in the registry and it'll show you where it is. simply change this to what you want <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /><br />i've got the same crap with new.net<br /><br />laters,<br />Chris

LOL. I thought it was to download the file I wanted. I didn't realize it was one of those gay boxes until the download window came up after wards.<br /><br />Thanks Chris. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />

Well, I'm confused. I deleted every entry in my registry that had lop.com in it, and it still redirects me there.

Thanks Mez, who ever you were. I could of sworn I had you on my ICQ buddy list, but I guess I didn't. Hit me up when you see this. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" />
