once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

Just like FF runs a different engine than IE

If 2 engines are affected it's a good guess that it's not a browser issue but rather a much deeper problem.

I had this problem with IE on my dads pc, FF was fine.

Turns out it was a virus which was redirecting urls whenever a search engine was used.

I reformatted after most of my intensive scans found nothing.

Spyware removal time.  In the future, use Opera to surf for porn, not IE/FF.

Another weird problem, but how come when I use Google's Advanced Search, keeping all the preferences the same, it works?

Same, system restore never seems to do anything useful for me and errors 90% of the times i use it

OP: reformat tbh, it sounds like a virus

When I fuck up my OS, which happens surprisingly often, I just use the stored image on my server to reimage my disk. After reinstalling windows 9 times in a single night some years ago, I learned my lesson

I keep meaning to do that, but I always remember once I've used it for a while and made it all dirty. I've always used Ghost in the past.

lol, I missed that. The last thing I would ever, ever do when I suspect I have a virus/spyware is log into stuff.
