| I tried the assistance instructions given for both related article and still
| have not been able to resolve this issue. If anyone could please help i
| would greatly appreciate this also i tried the automatic assistance for this
| issue and it ran most of the way through. When it got to checking the HOSTS
| file it errored with a non specific error. My hands are tied as to what this
| could be.
|
| NOTE___ I have only just reinstalled this HD i had to reformat due to a
| rogue virus that attacked about a week ago. It shut out 486 files in under 1
| minute and would not allow me to restart in safe mode to try to delete it. I
| did have trend micro internet security installed before and it found the
| virus as soon as it started to attack. Once i reformatted and installed
| everything seemed fine. I do have antivirus, antispam, and firewalls on this
| computer to protect it. I use CA INTERNET SECURITY through Insight
| Communications. Thanks for helping
