    Something on my local LAN is resolving internal addresses to hostnames in the form...(AMontpellier-257-1-113-YYY.-x.abo.wanadoo.fr where YYY is the last octet of the address) I have used Look@Lan to see if I could see someone with DNS running but don't seem to find that. Has anyone seen this and cleaned it up?

    Welcome to Majorgeeks!

    Have you flushed your DNS cache?

    Have you reset your Hosts file back to default?

    It would be best if you followed thru with our default cleaning procedures below.

    Please follow our standard cleaning procedures which are necessary for us to provide you support. Also there are steps included for installing, running, and posting HijackThis logs as attachments.
    • Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support
    • Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.
    • Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.
    • After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below link to properly use HijackThis and attach a log:
    • When you return to make your next post, make sure you attach the following logs and that you have run these scans in the following order too (these scans are covered in steps 6 & 7 of the READ & RUN ME sticky)
