Get a pop up box with this in it: FAILED TO RESOLVE HOST
NAME. Have checked every place I can think of, but can't
find out what it means and/or how to remedy it. Can I get
some help. Thank you
 
Hey Sonny,

When do you get this, is it when you boot the system ?

It could be some spyware or browser redirector trying to "phone home", and
if you're not connected to the internet, then it can't find a domain name
server to resolve the host name.

You could check up on whats getting started a boot time using mscofig

start/run
msconfig

click on the startup tab and see if there is anything you don't recognise.

The following tools will help you secure your system, and remove any
viruses, adware, redirectors, spam generators and ................
