Ok if you ever run into the problem I had..which was if i'd attempt to go to google.com I'd have a page pop up from google saying basically I had a parasite that was sending me to a fake google...run this program...searched all day and tried everything ..nothing worked....not even manualy deleting google lines in my host file....and this fixed it in about 5 secs.

program called hijackthis....it told me I had so many hijacked domains in my host file ( 101 of them) that i might want to consider deleting the entire host file in my systems32
Apparently what happens is you unknowingly download a parasite from some sort of spyware..it rewrites your host files to direct you to a fake google or other search engine with bogus results. What i havent fully figured out is how google detected it and stopped me from going anywheres when I tried to reach google. Anyhow it works great.
Hope it helps someone.

yeah. good post. spyware hijacks dns and redirects you. pretty bad stuff!
