The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022.

    I had already posted this but some dick closed it out. and what exactly is a "host" file and how do you check it.


    Everytime i try to click on somthing or go somewhere, it takes me somewhere completely different. i think its some kind of virus or spy ware maybe. if anyone can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. i also got a virus software, avg, but it dosnt detect anything that fixes it.

    1- You are posting in the wrong forum
    2- Cross posting is not allowed
    3- ...be polite?

    You should probably take a look at the Forum rules.
