Mr.Jak3: I am not having any more problems. You had said for me to delete viewpoint and konita and I didn't even have anything called that!
Hi again, we'll continue :)

HijackThis shows some leftovers. It is okay if Kontiki wasn't found…

You should print these instructions or save these to a text file. Follow these instructions carefully.

Run HijackThis, click Do a system scan only, and check the box next to each of these entries if still present. Close all other windows and press Fix checked. If something isn't there, please continue with the next entry in the list.

Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.

Next Go start run type cmd and hit OK
type
ipconfig /flushdns

  • Click the "Download" button to the right.
  • Check the box that says: "Accept License Agreement."
  • The page will refresh.
