I'm not sure if my computers have the same virus but I
cannot use any search engines, e.g. yahoo, google or the
msn one. What is happening? Has anybody else encountered
these problems, could it be my ISP?
Thanks,
Neil
 
I am having the same problem, I have norton 2003 and have
scanned for virsus and do not have a virsus, most be
something else.
 
It could be this trojan if all engines failed with a 404 error.

Be sure that you install hotfix 828750 which fixes the exploit that this
virus uses:
