Everytime I type something in, take google.com for example,
this is what I get:
"http://search.xrenoder.com/?trk=google.com" if I try
typing in another URL, or anything for that, the same thing
happens. I think that my computers infected with something,
but after running ad-aware with the newest reference file
and repairing internet explorer the result is the same.
Right now im using Netscape.
Thanks
