    It's just you...

    I had a virus on my computer that brought me to another infected site when I browsed Google.

    You should run a virus scan.

    It sounds like a host issue goto C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and open the host file with notepad

    Copy and paste this into the file:

    # Copyright (c) 1993-2009 Microsoft Corp.
    #
    # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
    #
    # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
    # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
    # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
    # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
    # space.
    #
    # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
    # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
    #
    # For example:
    #
    # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
    # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

    # localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.
    # 127.0.0.1 localhost
    # ::1 localhost
    Save and reboot. Im guessin you have a entry atm that looks like this:
    46.4.96.137 neopets.com

    Next you want to make sure you do not have a virus starting with windows to do this goto start>run> type "msconfig". Press the startup tab and untick anything that does not need to start with windows. There may be a few driver files you need to keep but you can tell what these are pretty easily. Everything else should be removed as really nothing needs to load with windows , just load it as you need it.

    Next hit the services tab and untick "show microsoft services" , again remove anything uneeded , sometimes viruses hide themselves here.

    Now reboot and do a virus scan to get rid of the virus (although it wont load with windows now , it may still be there)...
