Hi,

Looks like something in your hosts file is redirecting the ads showing in msn..

Please download HostsXpert.

Unzip HostsXpert to it's own folder.
Run HostsXpert.exe
Click "Make Writable?" in the upper left corner.
Click "Restore MS Hosts file" and then click OK.
Close HostsXpert.
Note: If a custom Hosts file was in place, you'll have to edit those entries back in.

Please post a fresh dds.txt and let me know how's it running.
