[QUOTE="beardman, post: 837276, member: 98479"] I've deleted all my cookies--no change. I haven't downloaded any codecs or plugins recently. I read the article on that Trojan, and while my DNS pane has two greyed-out IP addresses, there is no black one, so I think that means my DNS is provided by another machine here at the university library...right? I'm going by the following in that article: [SIZE="1"][I] If you’re running OS X 10.5, open your Network System Preferences pane and select your active interface (AirPort, Ethernet), then click Advanced. On the Advanced screen, click on the DNS tab. The leftmost box contains your DNS servers, and all the entries should be in black. If the trojan has been installed on your machine, you’ll see the phantom DNS in gray, listed above your normal DNS information, as seen in the image at right—the first two entries are the evil DNS, the last is the normal DNS. Note: There are other situations where the DNS info may be gray—it appears that if your DNS is provided by another machine, for instance, then your legitimate DNS information will be in gray, not black.[/I][/SIZE] I followed the other directions and I have no plugins.settings in my Library-->Internet Plug-Ins file. What else could this be? [/QUOTE]
