Hi Joe,
If you do have the DNSChanger Trojan, and I think you do, go to the
address below and
Download DNSChanger Removal Tool for Mac OS X
http://www.dnschanger.com/
“The DNSChanger Trojan Horse, also known as OSX.RSPlug.A & OSX/Puper,
has been found on numerous pornographic websites disguising itself as
a video codec. Once downloaded and installed, DNSChanger changes the
DNS settings on the computer, redirecting websites entered by the user
to malicious sites. If personal information is entered on these
malicious websites, it can lead to identity theft.”
Cheers,
Ronni

Hi Joe,
Is one of the dimmed addresses 85.255.117.2?
If so this is a Google search hijack from 85.255.117.2.
You could have the infamous DNSChanger Trojan Horse Malware on your
computer.

Hi Robert, Steve and Ronda
Thanks for your suggestions.
I tried Rhonda's suggestion as it appeared to be the simplest.
I checked the DNS servers in System Preferences. There were only
two dimmed ones with a starting address of 85.255. (located at
Stockholm in Sweden - do not know how these got onto my system) and
both were dimmed. So I added the two People Telecom ones she gave
and now things seem to be back to normal.
Thanks again
Regards
