Browser Redirecting

[MrSmith8788]

My browser redirects me to different web sites. When it type in torrentreactor.com it takes me to pornfan instead.

I went through the 8 steps and cleared my hosts file but it still redirects me.

Run IE Reset by following this post: https://www.techspot.com/vb/post682762-2.html

Also, update to a more secure Hosts file
There's lots of important info on that here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
As it's difficult to see the actual download, here it is: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.zip
Important! Windows Vista requires special instructions: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hostsvista.htm

Simply download the hosts.zip file, extract, then run mvps.bat, then restart

[Important Notice - 2K/XP/Vista Users]
In most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine. This only occurs
in W2000 and XP. Windows 98 and Windows ME are not affected.

To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"

Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
Select: Manual, click Apply/Ok and restart.

Then restart, and test browsing the Internet again

That fixed the problem for IE. Is there a similar fix for firefox?

False alarm, torrentreactor.net always redirects regardless of computer.
