Hun takes the time to answer emails from pesants like myself.

ie.You've been infected by a Russian hacker. Look for a file named "hosts"
in your windows directory.

Win98: c:\windows\hosts
W2k: c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
XP: c:\windows\system32\drivers\hosts

Delete it and you should be fine again. Make sure you install all
available patches for Microsoft and Internet Explorer to prevent this
from happening again. An anti-virus program is also a good thing to
have. Most likely you got infected by downloading some kind of toolbar
to your machine... if you ever get an offer for such programs simply DO
NOT install 'em. Usually they're potentially hazardous for your
machine...

If this didn't fix your problem please check www.thehun.net/gazette on
how to find and fix other potential problems
