[Teppen]

ok,

-----

Server not found

Firefox can't find the server at www.projecteq.net.

Check the address for typing errors such as
ww.example.com instead of
www.example.com

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

I posted here about possibilty that you may still have some sort of malware/virus in there. I have found that where one AV doesn't work, another does. Did you see the software posted you might look for and try?
I can't find the post in this thread anymore - anyone delete it, and for what reason?

spybot always updated and norton av always updated, ran both including clamav from my linux box to check out my windows machine and everything came back with nothing found..

I dont know what my problem actually was, but I have fixed this by using the Acronis True Image backup I made when bought my windows pc. I can logon and post on peq forums now. Sorry about my previous posts inwhich I thought I was ip banned. Ive reposted under my last post there, stating I will remain as active on the peq quest team, after reading a post by Cavedude, which sounded promising.

I had a malware problem like this with a friend , Spybot, Ad-Aware didn't work, don't know about Norton, but Bitdefender and Fprot didn't see it either.
Spy Sweeper would spot it, delete it , but it kept coming back. The other two cleaned it out for good, with other crap that was in there too. If you use programs like "Bearshare" they screw you good with malware , although they say they don't. There's a lot of real nasty stuff out there, very well cloaked, and very hard to flush out one you have it.

Teppen, glad to see your issues are worked out. Your problem is a very scarey one, though. Sounds like you had all the technical savvy to attempt to troubleshoot, yet something still was clinging in there. Welcome back!

Acronis True Image backup is very valuable. I bought my copy a few months ago, and is leagues better than norton ghost.

after i used the Acronis True Image backup and reverted to factory install, patched to current windows updates, patched up to current norton av version, ran full norton av check which came back nothing wrong, I installed and ran the three programs listed by Angelox, all came back nothing wrong. also ran latest spybot s&d, nothing returned.

if i type in 66.28.184.13 page loads. but if i try to login takes to same error page i was getting and doesnt log me in. also if i try googling projecteq and clicking or www.projecteq.net in address bar returns with same error.

also if i try 66.28.184.13/quests
or 66.28.184.13/edit
or 66.28.184.13/quests/submit
or 66.28.184.13/quick_recipe.php

all redirect to www.projecteq.net and then loads same error page i was getting. so im still stuck.

only sites i visited was:

updates for windows
updates for norton av
those 3 sites listed by Angelox
google search for projecteq

so i didnt wander far but still got hit by this nasty thing again. any ideas?
