404 not found google

hcrawfor · Oct 16, 2011

Whenever I go to google I receive:

404 not found
nginx

.... or try a search for anything at yahoo.com

I have no other problems browsing the internet or using my PC.

I have run ccleaner registry cleaner and malwarebytes

This is probably not a malware issue, so I will move your thread to the software forum.

One answer I found.

Remove 404 Not Found nginx (Uninstall Guide)
http://deletemalware.blogspot.com/2011/08/remove-404-not-found-nginx-uninstall.html

404 Not Found nginx is an error message generated by Nginx (open-source, high-performance HTTP server) that basically means the web document you were looking for doesn't longer exist on the server. Although, this is a typical web server error, we've received numerous emails from our readers complaining that they can't visit Google, Youtube and some other websites anymore and that they get this 404 Not Found, nginx page instead of requested websites. While others said that they keep getting the same error page whenever they Google something and click on the search results.

Search using 404 not found nginx for lots more links.

Hope this helps.

It seems that the simplest solution is to update your HOSTS file.

GOOGLE-nginx-404 error

Some HOSTS file sources:
Note: the http://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts2.htm site was not responding.
MVPS HOSTS File Update October-13-2011
hpHosts
HOSTS from someonewhocares.org (the one I use: click text file on the right menu)

Clearing the browser's cache may help:
Firefox cannot load certain websites

Thanks. Updating HOSTS via the cmd prompts provided worked like a charm. Case closed <Grin>.
