Internet Site Freeze

Locked

Using Mindspring dial-up and I.E., my computer will only go to one web site — Troma.com
When I type in any web address, I either get troma.com or “the page cannot be found”
No viruses have been detected. I ran Stinger-1-2003.
I have deleted temp files and unchecked “web addresses” for content autocomplete
Help!

Once here you should be able to see you dns server settings, call Mindspring and verify what your settings should be

It seems I have a virus that redirects all of my web traffic to this single site. My e-mail server is working, but I cannot connect with any web sites other than Troma.com
