I'd look at your DNS servers. &nbsp;Modify them to point to <b>8.8.8.8</b> and <b>8.8.4.4</b> <i>only</i>.<br />
<br />
After that, flush your DNS cache.... <b>ipconfig /flushdns</b><br />
<br />
Let me know your results.

Hi, whenever I type an unavailable domain in my web browser top bar I am not getting the google search results but instead there is an assist.shaw.ca redirected page (shaw is my internet provider). For example I enter <a href="http://www.engfut.com" rel="ugc">www.engfut.com</a>&nbsp;and all of sudden I get <a href="http://assist.shaw.ca/shawcaassist/dnsassist/main/?domain=www.engfut.com" rel="ugc">http://assist.shaw.ca/shawcaassist/dnsassist/main/?domain=www.engfut.com</a>&nbsp;..<br />
I have google set up as my primary search engine. I don't wanna any other SE to sneak in there with their background scripts.. It happens with all my browsers IE, Firefox, Chrome.<br />
I tried all Google chrome settings - Extensions, Under Hood section - could not find any trace of shaw SE.<br />
How to get rid of it? I am connected to the internet through my D-link router.<br />
I have Win XP OS with all the updates..<br />
Thanks.<br />

how to get rid of assist.shaw.ca search

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

Chrome OS is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and designed to work with web applications and installed applications. Initially, Chrome OS was almost a pure web thin client operating system, with only a handful of "native" applications, but Google gradually began encouraging developers to create "packaged applications", some of which can work offline. App Runtime for Chrome (beta) enables Android applications to run on Chrome OS. Chrome OS is built upon the open source project called Chromium OS which, unlike Chrome OS, can be compiled from the downloaded source code; Chrome OS is the commercial version installed on specific hardware.
