Bug I found
Recently I found that if i went to some sites, i was being sent to porn sites. I scaned for viruses and stuff but found nothing.
After looking on the net it looks like there is some clever virus that changes your dns settings.
If you get this, its a simple fix:
You go start - all programs - accessories - communications - network connections
you should see an icon for your internet / isp connection.
right click on it and select properties.
goto the networking tab and with the internet protocol tcp / ip row highlighted click on the properties button.
make a note of the dns settings and then chck "Obtain DNS Server address automatically"
