Dang! That's what it was! Any idea how that got there? Do you think it was some sort of malware that put the hosts file on there to redirect to another site and it was being blocked by the antivirus?

From: John Aldrich [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 18, 2009 3:16 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Search strangeness One of my users is unable to get to any search engine. I tried loading FireFox on there as well as IE and in both cases the browser times out before loading any search site. I can get to the front page of Yahoo, but when I attempt to search for something, it gives me a timeout error. PC is a Dell Optiplex 740 with about a Gig of RAM, Windows XP Pro SP3, with Vipre Enterprise loaded on it. Any suggestions? I've seen where malware will block IE, but never seen it block FireFox, and everything else in IE and Firefox seem to work, just no searching allowed. Also, Vipre has not found any malware on there.
