I am no longer able to connect to the internet with MS IE 6. All communication is being redirected to 199.81.196.200. I am able to connect with Firefox though. I have scanned the computer with the latest version of Trends Micro and Spyware Doctor and neither found anything. I tried to download Spybot but the executable went out to the internet to get additional files and I see it gets redirected to 199.81.196.200. I tryed upgrading to MS IE 8 but still the same problem. I downloaded Anti-Malware and installed but when it went out to get updates it was redirected to 199.81.196.200. I ran it without the updates and it found no malicious software. I also ran Hijack This . The requested files are attached. I had to rename Hijackthis.log to highjackthis.txt in order to upload to your site. Otherwise it said the file was invalid. It appears that anything which uses a MS protocol to access the internet does not work. I cannot activate a product nor can I get updates through MS update or windows update. I would appreciate any help anyone can give. Thanks!

I would have said that your browser had been hijacked until I looked up the IP. It belongs to FedEx. Unlikely they would hijack your browser.
 
Check to be sure that you didnt' set up a proxy on the broswer. That would explain why everything would be being redirected.
 
Thank you terii and lawson_jl. Between your two posts I was able to determine that Fedex was set up as a proxy for Internet Explorer. I have no idea how it happened but as soon as I removed it everything was back to normal. Thank you both!
