keep getting this error when trying to connect to some web sites Cannot find server or DNS Error

WTF

Could be a cookies thing.. have you tried them with Firefox?

My wife had the same problem on her PC, seems it was a variant of a trojan. Run your anti-virus and see what you pick up. Also see if the browser has been hijacked.

my anti virus (norton 2007) is showing sweet fa, dunc. Will try firefox 2morro, cheers okan


How do i find out if my browser has been hijacked?????????????

When you open IE do you have a start page?

Is it the one that normally opens when you start IE ?

DJ. Is it every webpage or just some?

If some try this download...... http://www.fixieonline.com/pagefix/pagefix.zip

try going to this website: www.IE-is-shite.co.uk - if nothing comes up try going to the mozilla website and downloading Firefox! it's much better...

i said something similar to scouser the other night...theres far better than IE out there, i always use firefox has you know, i think i remember dunc saying b4 that he finds opera (sp) good...maybe wrong tho.

No your not, I still use Opera! None of the problems associated with IE.

yeah, Opera's apparently good too - the problems associated with IE stem from their security settings and their allowance of scripts and Active X controls, which can be used as a 'back door' to your hard drive allowing all sorts of trojans access to whatever they want to use! I'd go as far as saying that IE is the equivalent of a lady with no panties on... not good! (well...... )

So I've got a question....(I asked Scott on Messenger last night but just like me he had no idea)
How do I stop Hotmail opening in IE when I go through messenger??

because both msn messenger and hotmail are microsoft owned, messenger's hardwired to open in IE, nothing you can do about that, apart from the obvious of opening a firefox window and going to www.hotmail.com... that's all you can do, I'm afraid.

Cheers MTTC.
I did think there would be nothing I could do.....Uncle Bill Gates laying down the law again to us ordinary folk.

Suppose I'll just have to leave IE on the PC then.

well, I think Bill has little to do with things these days but Microsoft certainly do like to leave their stamp on things so you can't get around things.

I still have IE on my computer too, some things don't work on Firefox, although it is getting better.

Its just some Dunc, Already tried that download , but still no better, cheers anyway
