Localhost gets redirected

Hi,

Whenever I load [localhost] it gets redirected to this URL:

[epaper.taihainet.com]

I have created a test file in www folder and whenever I access that it shows for a second and then redirects to the same above URL.

I have already tried uninstalling the program and reinstalling it but the same problem persists.

Please help!

In my opinion, I don't think anything wrong w/ wamp, but I'm afraid that you got yourself spyware which you should find a way to get rid of

Hi,

Check the hosts file c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts. It should have the following entry which resolves localhost in the URL to the local PC's IP address 127.0.0.1:

127.0.0.1 localhost

Often viruses modify the hosts file, for example to prevent antivirus applications from downloading the latest definitions.

You should check your server for both viruses and spyware.
