Odd computer problem.

This is just a vague assumption, but when you downloaded Ad-Aware, after opening the program, did you click Update Reference List Now (or whatever its called at the main screen in Ad-Aware). Usually the copy that is downloaded is out of date and if you update Ad-Aware and run it, it should most likely find even newer stuff.

But other then that. Have you tried using any other browsers? If not, try downloading something like Opera or Mozilaa or Netscape 7.1 and see if they go to the correct site. If it/they do, then its an IE problem.

Alright, I tried both of your suggestions.

First of all, the new updates for adaware did not solve the problem.

Secondly, I downloade Opera and I get a message saying that I could not connect to remote server www.google.com and also the same thing with yahoo.

Thanks for all the help so far though.

If neither of those worked, you can call up the ISP and see if a Tech person can help. Since I'm thinking it's either an ISP problem or you have some weird assed Spyware that isn't as detectable or is very new. If they are too retarded to get an answer, the people of GT will keep trying.
