Yo, wierd place for my homecoming, but meh. I have a question.
Everytime I try to log onto a site where I need to input some vital information (ebay login, budk chechout, things of that nature) I keep getting a 404 dns. Can anyone tell me why? I can't get to anything on ebay now, and I didn't find anything in their faqs about it. |

Sounds like spyware or possibly a trojan.
Download Spybot Search and Destroy, update it, and run it.
Then see if it still occurs. |

It is possible that all you may have to do is just delete your cookies and your temp internet files.
If that is not the problem and you have ran a spyware program and possibly tried a different browser, you may want to try renewing your IP address.
To renew your IP address you can:
go start>run>type "cmd" press enter
type ipconfig /release (gets rid of the current IP address)
type ipconfig /renew (gives you a new IP address) |

| Make sure you also download Adaware and Windows Defender (if you copy of Windows is legit). These programs can pick up malware, that Spybot may have missed. |
