Will do. Thank you.

Thanks. No, I've done this already several times over the last 2 days and neither unplugging the router or rebooting the PC has helped. The reason I turned to this forum was that while searching for .edge I referenced a couple of links which mentioned malware so naturally I ran MB and once that item was quarantined I figured that may have been related. It's entirely possible that its just a coincidence. At any rate, I'm still baffled how entering www.liveleak.com is redirecting me to www.edge.liveleak.com. The site still loads up after a few minutes but each time I click a link there it's a few more minutes of wait time for the page load. What is the "edge." preface there for and WHY is it there? Any ideas?

Over the last few days I've been having trouble accessing a website called liveleak.com (using both Chrome and FireFox). I've noticed that while my address bar reads www.liveleak.com, the small bar down by the start menu icon quickly changes from "waiting for liveleak.com" to "waiting for edge.liveleak.com". It normally takes only a second for the website to load but when I see that edge.liveleak.com in the lower bar it can take up to several minutes for the page/s to load. For about 24 hours it seemed that several sites (but not all) were having this several minute to load delay but now only the liveleak site seems to be effected. A couple of random times the site has loaded normally and on those occaisons I see that the "edge." has not been added to my desired URL. No idea what is going on there. I did see that Malwarebytes has quarantined Exploit.Drop.GSA (C\:Program Data\dsgsdgdsgdsgw.pad) 3 days ago but all scans are coming up clean since then. I've run, Malwarebytes, AdAware, Windows Defender and TDS Killer scans in both normal and safe modes and all are repeatedly coming up clean. Could that quarantined file above be related to my problem accessing the liveleak site? I can't help feeling that there is something still active that has been missed in the scans, any help or suggestions would be appreciated. SK
