Check you Hosts file. Instructions here:
http://www.2-viruses.com/how-to-fix...Likely, there is a Trojan virus on your computer. You must scan your computer with anti-malware software. Try Spyware Doctor from http://www.2-spyware.com/review-spy...

Thanks.,... no i dont get any message about Win32/Renos ...
and im not able to enter
http://www.2-viruses.com/how-to-fix...
or
http://www.2-spyware.com/review-spy...
or any other site regarding a virus
everything else works fine

I managed to reinstall Avast Home Edition, and found a virus (win32 confi)
Cleaned it,,, but im still not able to enter any antivirus website...
What else can i do?

hecgomez,
The hosts (no extension) file you want to check is located in your C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc directory (folder). Below,between the lines is what it should look like.
____________________________________________# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host127.0.0.1 localhost
____________________________________________
Open it in notepad and remove any entries below 127.0.0.1 localhost
DO NOT REMOVE THE 127.0.0.1 localhost
Close notepad and save the changes.
Hope This Helps,
Tufenuf
