Hi-jacked Browser - Warning

[Nick Harrison]

Using IE6 with latest update (apart from IE7). Been hi-jacked today
or yesterday. Best I can describe is that all sites with .co.uk are
hi-jacked.
Tried .com & they "seem" fine. The site that apears is jpuk.com with a
variety of appearances inc. laptops, boilers, languages & of course porn.
My defence is :- a2, ad-aware, spybot search & destroy, avg anti-virus,
spyware blaster & windows xp firewall. All are updated at least 4 times
each week. Ran all of them twice today inc. a deep scan of a2 but still
being hi-jacked. I am thinking of waiting 2 or 3 days for further updates,
if no change then I see a format is in town. Anyone know of any tips
while I gnash my teeth. Ta.

Have you considered adding better browsers to your arsenal?

Something altered your "hosts" file (no suffix). Remove the line that
refers to co.uk
