download Adaware <--- search google and run it. Also look at your hosts.sam file. There must be a line like this:

Code: Select all

http://localhost, http://www.metadirect.com
or something :wink:

Sounds like your default search engine was hyjacked. If you type localhost, while searching from the address bar is enabled, it will search for the term localhost in the default search engine.

I recommend downloading an adware/spyware remover and disabling searching from the address bar in your browser options.
