Comment: I am having trouble accessing all the websites that I normally view. This started the same time that I started having popups for antispyware. I renewed my Norton subscription and ran Ad Aware, Spybot S&D and then purchased Spyware Doctor. Vundo and Virtumonde were detected and removed. I expected my computer to return to normal, but now I having problems with the browsing in both Firefox and IE. I cannot access Yahoo,
for example. Please help. Thanks!!!! Jill

unfortunately I could not access the link you posted.

Reply: (edit)Go here c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and delete the file named hosts it has no file extension. Then restart your computer... Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity...

Reply: (edit)OK wombat. You learn well LOL! The OP said he could not access the site where he could have seen that. I thought that it was common knowledge where the hosts file was, I learned that in Windows Basic 101 a good many years ago... 8) Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity...

Reply: (edit)Spywaredoctor is a piece of crap. Use Superantispyware instead. Google it.

Reply: (edit)Yeh, wombat. I apologize if there is any conflict here. I posted that years ago when some program put windows update in the host file.

Reply: (edit)Thank you very much. I restored everything in Spyware Doctor except the virtumonde trojan and then downloaded Superantispyware. After scanning, I can now get to the websites that
weren't accessible before. It did give me a message that Windows\System32\hlsphsae.dll could not be found. Should I be concerned?
Thanks again. Jill
