Japanese Newegg, Turkish Bestbuy, ??????

Post by canton_kid »

Hey all, any Idea what is up with this nutty stuff?

Yesterday I was at Bestbuy.com, as normal in English for USA. I clicked a link for a printer or something and all text went to what looked like Turkish or such.
My freind tried Bestbuy then and had normal best buy although I was still stuck in turkish. Now Bestbuy is working fine for me today, at least so far.

BUT!!!
I was just at Newegg.com, all was normal and fine, I clicked a picture link for a laptop cooling pad I think it was, NOW a Japenese text loaded on the page that loaded up for that item. Now everything on Newegg is in Japanese for me.
My friend went to Newegg and their computer was in Japanese also.

I did a full scan on my system soon as I had the Bestbuy Turkish problem, Avira with new updates, nothing at all was found. I think Avira scanned for all the major things like virus spyware etc.. and I am using Firefox 3.6.6

Friend is using IE

I am visiting in SC. right now and I think the DSL is E-frontier who just bought out Verizon here recently.

Update.
Newegg is coming up correct again now for me, but best buy was fine and is now coming up in Japanese.

I cleared out Cache, cookies, history, etc.. etc... and still bestbuy will not load correct.

I am now getting https://rewardzone.bestbuy.com.cn/Index/Index.aspx every time I type in Bestbuy.com.
I would think I am getting Hi-jacked but my friend is havinga few of the same problems.

I am Firefox they are IE, I am running win 7 they are Vista.

Only thing we have in common with the laptops is we are using the same wireless router for DSL.

Change your DNS settings. Try using OpenDNS or Google's DNS server. Sounds like some bad DNS referrals.

Just change it on your PC. Go into your PC's IP address settings, and manually change the DNS server. Google search for specific instructions.
