To make certain, just delete the contents of the Hosts file - just leaving
the fist line[s] :

127.0.0.1 localhost


....then start your copy of SpyBotSD and press the "Immunize" button and let
it re-write it's entries in the Hosts file (just one of the ways SpyBotSD
protects your PC).


This will ensure you have no erroneous or bogus entries in your Hosts file.

Then, at the very least, you can discount this as the cause.

There are several pages which keep appearing. They look like something
you would get if a link was dead. Here is one:

http://63.209.69.107/search/web/Ms%2...hart/a53/riva-
2198/v5

This appears when I click on a Google search link. If I go back to
Google and do it all over again, I get the correct page.

hosts contains

127.0.0.1 localhost
# Start of entries inserted by Spybot - Search & Destroy

followed by a long list
