This is wierd, never happened before. I have done what you asked me to but still it is going to the same website.

Guys please help me out here. Im already running Norton antivirus scan, just in case.
 
Guys, seems like im gonna be asking novice-like question relating to computers from this point...can i just say i appreciate your help and thanks in advance.


Ok so here is the problem, according to the guide Peternem posted -

Windows xp - System 32 - drivers.....

Well i get into the system 32, found a folder labelled "drivers catche" and i went on in but i cant find any file labelled host....am i doing this right?



EDIT
I think i can find it now but i dont know which is which, it says the one without an extension, Is this the one without ". xxxx" then?
