I typed in google.com and then it went to piraty.com. I must have a virus. I guess it's time for a format. Anyone heard of this?

Someone may have just edited your HOSTS file so every time you enter google.com it redirects you to piraty.com.

Google it.

Oh wait, you can't Have a read here and see if that's the case...
