has anyone else been experiencing problems with google?
when i go the the url all i get is:
"there is no website configured at this address"
its really starting to p*ss me off

[Crash it for fun]

Yes! There is a file in Windows\System32\Drivers\Etc\Hosts

Open this file in notepad and if you have loads of entries in there refering to www.google.co.uk www.altavista.co.uk followed by ip addresses then you have been stung. Its a fun new way the bastard advertising people have found to track what you look at and send you popups!

The solution is to delete the entries in this file refering to websites you use or all of them if you think they all look bogus.
