Sent running for Spybot, Ad Aware and AVG -
Topic: Mysteries of Life

Ack. Last night I tried to punch up Drudge Report and got this site -http://find-it.web-search.la/ . Punched up Wonkette and go the same site. Holy Crap thought I. I've been hijacked. Pulled the internet, ran AVG and nothing came up. Ran Spybot and nothing came up. Ran Ad Aware and nothing came up. Wow, it's worse than I thought. No sign of anything actually hijacking my Firefox browser I tentatively plugged back in and tried the BBC. Well heck, that came up. Tried Drudge again - I get either the above crap hijack 'find-it' page or I get this
"This IP is being shared among many domains.

Drudge, Wonkette, Gizmodo, Ain't it Cool and Andrew Sullivan, but not Ars Technica, Boing Boing, Daily Kos or Fark. Very odd and I can't find any info about why this is.

Thank you kind stranger. I have to say, the internet is sometimes a dangerous place full of bad people with bad intent and sometimes, most of the times really, you hve folks like this who take a few minutes of their time to give you some help, some information that puts you on the right track. DNS poisoning, never heard of it, here is a link http://www.viruslist.com/en/weblog?discuss=161847983&return=1 that discusses it. Thanks very much stranger. :-)
