For example, after reading an article on Yahoo, I used google to search for "facebook website". The very first link on the results screen says it's going to take me to http://www.facebook.com/, but I end up going to
>http://85.255.115.16...ID=DEE53FDDCDEE
48A88304E924C6A4A601&qq=facebook%20website&id=1
&qnaes={DEE53FDD-CDEE-48A8-8304-E924C6A4A601}&b=0
&ZZ=2
I noticed that my NameServer entries (below) also point to an IP that starts "85.255....." as in the link above......related? And, what about URLSearchHook ?
