I went to GoDaddy and I saw an adult site index page instead.

I looked at the source code and this is what I saw (see code below).

Go figure out those suckers managed to hack into GoDaddy but I don't find it funny.

It better be over soon and the FBI should follow the IP and the money trail to find out who are those morons.

Can't see anything from here, are you sure you haven't got a problem on your machine (for example a trojan that has modified your hosts file) or on your local or ISPs network (for example DNS poisoning)?

That's interesting.

You mean a trojan horse that would beon my pc where it shows me another site when I go to a specific domain?

This kind of stuff really exist? I mean not the trojan horse but rather one that switch a website with another in your Netscape browser!

Wow! Can't stop progress here :-)

So how do I get of this AdAware or Symantec?

Good to know that you guys see it fine on your side.

So you think it could be my ISP too who would trasnfer me to another IP address rather then the IP of Go Daddy?

As encyclo mentioned, it sounds more like a trojan or some type of malware has adjusted some pc settings.

May be a reconfigured hosts file, or reconfigured network (TCP/IP or DNS) settings.

This is actually one of the more common types. All it really needs to do is modify your hosts file.

Most likely, on your computer, you downloaded and opened a file that launched this malware. Least likely and bordering on unthinkable, your ISP.

So how do I get of this AdAware or Symantec?

First you need to identify exactly what you have and how you got it. Some malware and tracking apps can be caught by adAware and SpyBot, but it's possible this is an introduced virus, in which case your anti-virus software would have to rout it out. I recommend Grisoft AVG Free Home Edition, it's free, you can schedule daily updates, also free, and works better than any other AV software out there. Symantec worms its way down into your system and will work fine until you have problems - then they are very big, unfixable problems.

I finally realized that the bug was on my pc.

It was just the kick in the butt I needed to finally format my drive which I wanted to do for a while and the Go Daddy bug went away.

Thanks for your help.
