Anyways, come university I get my laptop and go away to school, everything is fine. I come home and am on our wireless network, only to find that I am now having this redirect problem again, but on my laptop. Didn't bug me too much as I had noscript on there too. I'm back home now though and it's starting to get on my nerves. Even browsing from my iPod touch gets redirected. So I'm wondering.. is it possible that my actual wireless router is infected?  | ||

Actually Yes (read us, read us!) Check the DNS settings on the router.You can also try resetting to factory settings. Edit: Fixed wording hurf durf | ||

I have the same problem with the rerouting business. Did you happen to transfer any files or have the laptop interact with the infected PC in anyway possible? Did you go to a no no website on your laptop? That virus you have could have been in your laptop for awhile, after dl or visiting some web, and not go off till something switched it on. Also might wanna get rid of that virus...they also tend to bring in a trojan dropper... | ||

The chances you have one are small, unless your control panel on it is outward facing (eg: it is accessible on the wild internet.) This is generally a setting somewhere in the control panel itself. As yenta said, reset your router to factory defaults, make sure you have a solid password on it, and disable the outward facing control panel. | ||

Please people (not just heroyi either), don't talk about technical things if you aren't sure. Anyway, start off by resetting your router's DNS addresses. If that doesn't work, do a 30/30/30 reset on your router. If you still have redirect problems, it's your ISP. | ||

I meant to edit the post before someone caught it :/ Does the virus do anything weird after it redirects you? Activate java or some program (check task manager). | ||
