    I think I have a worm or something

    The same thing is happening to someone else I know, so I'm thinking it isn't some setting I messed up. Here's the deal. I can't use search engines. It won't do the search. The results page wont load. If I go to google.com, I get a site that has, in plain text
    -------------------------------------------
    Error: The website you are looking for does not appear to be located on this server.

    If you are looking for one of the major search engines please click here for the correct links: Search Engine Links

    Thankyou.

    ----------------------------------------

    the link goes to http://justtemplates.com/search.html . I'm afraid to click it though. A few days ago, it said http://www.google.com:xxxx (xxxx) was a port number, I can't remember what one though, 2046 or something. Last week, it would load http://www.cpanel.net I've downloaded the latest virus definitions for norton, and they can't detect it. Ad-aware doesn't find anything either. I'm not sure what the problem is, so if anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it.

    Thanks!

      I downloaded ad aware today, it found a bunch of programs that I thought I had gotten rid of along time ago, and stopped some popups I was getting, so, you can give that a shot.

        ad aware is good, but it sucks compared to spybot: search and destroy. Get spybot, it's great.

          I'll try spybot

          *edit - Spybot didn't find anything either. hmmmm. I might just wipe the whole computer clean. I don't really have anything on it.
