Well this is frustrating. I've thrown everything at the computer I can think of and am not finding anything.

Try unplugging the router from the internet cable and resetting it.

While it is disconnected from the internet do the steps here > How to Flush and Reset DNS Cache

That's reassuring - I thought it was just me going mad...

Given that it's just IE that's now behaving badly (everything else is back to normal) is it a doable thing to just uninstall and reinstall this program?

[evilfantasy]

It's worth a try.

• First go here to Download IE 7 to the desktop. (Don't install it yet)

• Uninstall the version of IE you have installed now, to do so follow these steps:
  • Click Start
  • Click Control Panel
  • Double click Add or Remove Programs
  • Scroll down until you find Internet Explore
  • Then click Change/Remove, and follow the prompts.

• Note: If you are unable to see IE7 in Add or Remove Programs follow these steps:

• Click Start
• Click Run
• Type or copy and paste, into the text box:

• %windir%\ie7\spuninst\spuninst.exe

• Then Press Enter
• Restart your computer.
  • Install the fresh version of Internet Explorer 7.

Unfortunately nothing. Cleaned out the cache, reinstalled IE and I still can't search.

This problem started about four days after the original virus problem. Do you think they're linked or am I just having a really unlucky 2009?

[evilfantasy]

Try updating MalwareBytes and then running a FULL system scan. Might find something that the quick scan missed.

[veritas9]

No, updated and reran but unfortunately still not operating as expected.

I installed IE8 and the autocomplete search function gets me around some of the redirection issues.

From what I can see, I have a clickshield problem - I know I'm pushing my luck here but any suggestions?

thanks
