I have an interesting issue on my computer that has be completely befuddled: Almost no search engine works. Yahoo doesn't work (though I can still use every other part of it, just not the search), Google.com comes up as not even existing, most other major ones also fail (netscape.com works, but the netscape browser still has the same problems with other engines).
This problem first started occuring within a day of Trojan.Qhost, so I assumed that was what I had (it even is acting just like it would have...), but with repeated scans using the Norton QHost remover, and repeated complete system scans with fully up to date antivirus software, nothing has turned up.
I am on a university network, and they haven't picked up any signs of a virus on my computer either. Everyone else can use these engines from their computers, and I can use them from my account on any computer but my own. I had a friend IM me the URL of a yahoo search results page just to test if it was the search process or the actual page I was having blocked, and found I could not open even a direct link to results.
I am on Windows 2000 Pro (recently updated from ME), and have this problem with both IE 6 and Netscape. Any ideas anyone?
