ita, I've just switched from Eudora/Spaminex (sp?) to Thunderbird (part of my switching to the PowerBook as my main machine, so that we can disassemble the office), and I'll let you know how it goes.

I was the one who originally asked, so let me know how it goes too. ;^)

After i started getting Firefox popups again, I installed the Adblock extension and an Updated Filter List for it, and they've stopped.

Nova, you rock hard.

FYI, there is a new worm variant (W32/Bropia.worm.p, although I've also seen it was .j and .i extensions) that is propagating through MSN Messenger.

Has the Web gone nuts? Every second time I try to click a link, I get "(site) not found" back from the DNS.

Do I have a virus?

I dunno. I'm about to trash a computer at work that got hijacked beyond belief this afternoon.

I dunno if viruses do that. I suppose why not....

If I were you, I'd check what your current DNS servers are. Make sure they belong to your ISP.

Which part? I'm guessing you mean the second? Use Whois. Or there are sites that let you look up the owner of an IP address - here's one: [link]

You can find your current DNS servers, right? (Even if they're set dynamicly you should be able to get them. Depends on the OS where you look.)

I am so totally fux0red at the moment, the whois link came up as not found.

Honestly, I don't know the IP of the DNS of my ISP, anyway.

I think it is time to call customer service and puke Alphabet Soup through the phone. Not that calling CS ever helps.
