I was messing around with ipconfig and found the extension /displaydns. Being curious i typed it in and found long list of websites (that i've never been to) including cocktailcash.com and a lot of porn sites. This is what one looked like: cocktailcash.com ----------- Record Name . . . . . : cocktailcash.com Record Type . . . . . : 1 Time To Live . . . . : 602903 Data Length . . . . . : 4 Section . . . . . . . : Answer A (Host) Record . . . : 127.0.0.1 I'm not sure what any of this means. But I saw the 127.0.0.1 IP address, which I'm pretty sure is the localhost address. I have been having problems with a few websites, including this one, and when i press back it will attempt to load a page (for this site its something like versiontracker) then i'll press again and it will try to another page. then i press it once more and it will say "connecting to 127.0.0.1" in the bottom left of the browser. usually by the 4th time i'll be able to actually go back. i was wondering if these two things were linked at all. I have cookies disabled and i allow only the sites i add to the list (computing.net is on the allow list) so i was thinking that could be the problem. to recap: -what are all those sites? -are those sites causing the problem? (BTW, all of the sites have the same A (Host)Record of 127.0.0.1) thanks a bunch and sorry if this is really confusing.

I think you understand that some process on your computer has been doing DNS lookups for these sites. That has got to be a trojan. So the problem is not those sites so much as an infection. Get and update good antivirus software immediately. Disabling cookies is good, but not the solution. Also have a look at your hosts file (do a search - location varies). All that should be in there is a line like this, except for comnented out lines beginning with # 127.0.0.1 localhost A while back, maybe 2 weeks, someone posted a URL for a site devoted to killing trojans - might have been in the virus forum - have a look Peter (Alert me if you want a reply)
