Google redirects to abc.com... WTF?

[Operational]

Just got on to Firefox but instead of loading my default google page I get this.



All other website's are fine but no matter what I do to try to get to google I get redirected to abc.com. Internet Explorer does the same thing. Has anyone else had this?

Fine for me.

Ok, google is fine now but other website addresses are scrambled. I go to one address and some other website loads. I can't see the image in my first post because it tries to find it on some other server and I can't access my UserCP.


Scans for virus's and adware didn't find anything. I'm thinking the problem is ISP or Router related. I'll see what happens in the morning. :S

Connect to the actual IP of the site.

Lol, be greatful you can even freaking connect to the internet. It's just taken 3 minutes to load this reply page because of the friggin' quake in Taiwan.

Here's hoping the connection in HK is better. : (

That is some serious DNS issue. If you have another computer at home and it's doing the same thing, I could contact your ISP. If not, I would say you have some weird browser hijack (antivirus scans and anti-spyware scans might not find that). Of course you could be just taking a picture with one site up and changing the url to say something else .

Most likely you have a virus that is editting your host file.

Go to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc and open the Hosts file with notepad

see if theres alot of entries in there or not. if there are, delete them all except for 127.0.0.1 localhost

I agree that it's a browser hijack. Not an IPS issue, four computers from the whole house connect to a single modem and only one has the same problem.

I didn't fix it yet, though, it's propably in the depths of a Firefox ini file.

Use Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D to check for malware.

And holy crap, you have a LOT of unnecessary crap slapped onto your browser. I wouldn't be surprised at all if it was one of those "helpful" tool-bars (or ad-bars) causing the problems, and infecting your PC.

someone/thing has messed with your hosts file possibly....

Evil hijackers.

Well everything seems fine now. I'm going to do a few more scans for malware but for the moment I'm going to say it was some weird microsoft bug (remember it affected Internet explorer as well). The other computer on the network was unaffected.
