in your run prompt type this (or copy and paste)
code:
notepad.exe %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

you should see the following in your hosts file
quote:
# Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
#      102.54.94.97     rhino.acme.com          # source server
#       38.25.63.10     x.acme.com              # x client host

127.0.0.1       localhost

if you see anything else, delete it, reason for that is this file is ment for redirecting websites.



In order to fix the issue try this. (The Trojan) CTRL+Alt+Del and End Program or Process windates.exe
Click on Start > Run > type msconfig then click ok
Click the Startup Tab
Uncheck windates.exe or windates

then click on Start > run > (copy and paste the next line) del %systemroot%\system32\windates.exe

and you should be ok
