Got peer guardian installed but had it on before it started this. Took all add ons on fire fox off to see if it was that. Still playing. Up fact that it's also on safari is confusing. What is DNS changer ?

Cheers guys in advance.

Uninstall PeerGuardian and watch all the problems disappear.

You'll be number 5 since Friday.

Did you use the uninstaller and not simply drag to trash?

We had a client who had a similar problem, but it was his router. We never did get it fixed, but is is a possibility in your case?

Download it again, install it, then use the uninstaller that is packaged with it.

You do mean anything as bad surely? Steer clear.

Sorry, have not had the need for such an app. My best suggestion is to go legit and you won't have a need of it any longer either.
